Bill Summary
This measure, which would include a legislative finding that it is in response to redistricting in Texas in 2025, would, notwithstanding the authority of the Citizens Redistricting Commission, require the state to temporarily use the congressional districts reflected in AB 604 of the 2025–26 Regular Session for every congressional election until the new congressional boundary lines are drawn by the commission in 2031.
AI Summary
This Constitutional Amendment, known as the "Election Rigging Response Act," declares that California will temporarily use congressional districts established in Assembly Bill 604 of the 2025-26 legislative session for all congressional elections until new district lines are drawn by the Citizens Redistricting Commission in 2031. This measure is presented as a response to perceived attempts by Republican-led states, including Texas, to manipulate congressional district boundaries for partisan advantage in upcoming elections. The amendment also asserts that the Attorney General has exclusive authority to defend any legal challenges to these temporary districts, and the California Supreme Court has original and exclusive jurisdiction over such challenges.
