Summary

AI-generated summary, report an error

This bill would bar a state that has already redrawn its U.S. House district lines after a census from redrawing them again until after the next census and apportionment. There are three exceptions: a court orders the state to redraw to comply with the Constitution or the Voting Rights Act; a court redraws the map itself, after which the state legislature or a state constitutional redistricting commission may draw its own replacement map; or the state holds a statewide referendum to redraw for those same legal reasons. The limit applies to congressional redistricting after the 2020 census, and the referendum exception applies only to referenda ordered after November 3, 2026. The bill does not affect how states draw districts for state or local elections.
