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, except when required by a court to comply with the Constitution or the Voting Rights Act. It would require states to conduct congressional redistricting through independent redistricting commissions or, if the commission's plan is not enacted, through the state's highest court or a federal district court. The bill also provides for payments to states to establish and operate their independent redistricting commissions, and would apply these provisions to congressional redistricting after the 2030 census.
