AI Summary
This bill, the Redistricting Reform Act of 2024, aims to reform the congressional redistricting process. It establishes criteria that states must follow when drawing congressional district boundaries, including complying with the Constitution and Voting Rights Act, preserving communities of interest, and prohibiting the favoring or disfavoring of political parties. The bill also requires an open and transparent redistricting process with public input, and provides for judicial oversight and enforcement if a state fails to enact a compliant redistricting plan by the applicable deadline. The bill grants the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia or the judicial district where a state's capital is located exclusive jurisdiction over challenges to congressional redistricting plans, with expedited appeals to the D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals and potential review by the Supreme Court.
