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.
