AI Summary
This bill enacts the "Georgia Senate Redistricting Act of 2023", which divides the state of Georgia into 56 new senatorial districts based on the 2020 census data. The bill specifies how the districts should be described and defined, including that any parts of the state not included in a district should be assigned to the contiguous district with the least population. The bill also states that the new district boundaries will be effective for the 2024 primaries and elections, and that any special elections to fill a vacancy in the 157th General Assembly will use the new district composition.
