Bill Summary
A BILL To prohibit States from carrying out more than one Congressional redistricting after a decennial census and apportionment, to require States to conduct such redistricting through independent commissions, and for other purposes.
AI Summary
This bill, the John Tanner and Jim Cooper Fairness and Independence in Redistricting Act, would prohibit states from conducting more than one congressional redistricting after each decennial census, unless required by a court to comply with the Constitution or the Voting Rights Act. It would require states to conduct redistricting through independent commissions, which would be composed of an equal number of members appointed by legislative leaders from the two major political parties. The bill also authorizes federal payments to states to establish and operate these independent redistricting commissions, and provides a process for federal courts to select or develop redistricting plans if a state fails to do so. The provisions of the bill would apply to congressional redistricting conducted after the 2030 census.
