AI Summary

This bill establishes the congressional districts for the state of Florida based on the 2020 Decennial Census, creating 28 single-member districts. It amends existing Florida Statutes to reflect these new district boundaries, specifically updating Section 8.0002 which details the composition of each district. The bill also reenacts other relevant statutes concerning the election of representatives to Congress, the use of electronic maps as official district boundaries, and the severability of these provisions. Importantly, the new district boundaries will apply to the primary and general elections starting in 2026 and thereafter, with the act taking effect upon the expiration of the terms of the current representatives.
