AI Summary

This bill amends several sections of Massachusetts election laws related to reprecincting. It requires the state redistricting commission to provide electronic files with the newly drawn congressional, council, senate, and representative district boundaries to legislative leaders within 7 days of approval. It changes the timeline for municipalities to redraw their precincts, requiring it to be done within 30 days of the final approval of the state's redistricting plan, rather than by a specific date. The bill also includes provisions to prevent municipalities from splitting precincts across multiple state legislative districts.
