Bill > S0112

This bill establishes new rules for redrawing congressional and state legislative district boundaries in Florida, specifically limiting when such redistricting can occur. The legislation allows district boundaries to be redrawn only in three specific circumstances: during the second year following a federal decennial census (which happens every 10 years), during an extraordinary apportionment session, or during a judicial reapportionment process as outlined in the State Constitution, or when required by federal law or court order. The bill, which will take effect on July 1, 2026, is titled the "Voter Protection in Redistricting Act" and aims to provide more structured and predictable guidelines for the redistricting process. By restricting when district boundaries can be modified, the legislation seeks to reduce potential political manipulation of electoral maps and provide more stability in the state's electoral geography.
