AN ACT To provide for the composition and number of congressional districts; to provide for a short title; to provide for the contingent nature of this Act and the circumstances under which it shall or shall not apply, according to the enforceability of prior provisions under federal law; to provide for the continuation of present members of the United States House of Representatives; to provide an effective date; to repeal conflicting laws; and for other purposes.

AI Summary

This bill, the "Georgia Congressional Redistricting Act of 2023", proposes to divide the state of Georgia into 14 congressional districts based on the 2020 U.S. Census data. The bill includes provisions that would make the new congressional districts contingent on the enforceability of the prior 2021 congressional redistricting plan under federal law. If the 2021 plan cannot be implemented, then the new districts in this bill would be used for future congressional elections in Georgia. The bill also specifies that any special elections to fill vacant congressional seats would use the same district boundaries as the most recent regular congressional election.
