Bill > SB2

This bill amends existing Alabama law to redraw the state's U.S. Congressional districts, establishing seven districts with boundaries defined by a new map called the "Smitherman Congressional Plan 1-2026," which replaces the previous "Livingston Congressional Plan 3-2023." The Legislature will post this new map, along with detailed boundary descriptions based on census data, on its public website, and the official map's descriptions will take precedence over census data alone. The bill also repeals a section of law containing legislative findings and states that its provisions are severable, meaning if one part is found invalid, the rest will still stand. These changes are intended to be effective for the 2026 general election and subsequent elections until the districts are redrawn after the 2030 census.
