AI Summary
This bill redraws the district boundaries for the Alabama Senate. The key provisions are:
1. The Alabama Senate shall consist of 35 members, with each member residing in the district they represent.
2. The state is divided into 35 new Senate districts with detailed boundary descriptions provided, based on census tracts and blocks.
3. Any conflict between the district boundary descriptions in the text and the official maps retained by the Secretary of State shall be resolved in favor of the official maps.
4. The act is severable, so if any part is declared invalid, the rest can still be enforced.
5. The new district boundaries will be used to elect Senate members starting with the 2018 general election, until the next required redistricting.
6. The act takes effect immediately upon passage and approval.
