Summary

AI-generated summary, report an error

This bill would bar a state that has already redrawn its U.S. House district map after a census-based apportionment from redrawing it again until after the next apportionment. A second redistricting would be allowed only if a court requires it to comply with the U.S. Constitution, the Voting Rights Act of 1965, or the state constitution, or if the state's own redistricting law expressly requires it. The bill states that it does not affect how states run elections for state or local offices. It would apply to any congressional redistricting that occurs after the 2020 census.
