What this bill does

Plain-language analysis by the nonpartisan Legislative Reference Bureau

This proposed constitutional amendment, proposed to the 2009 legislature on

first consideration, defines demographic and political standards for the drawing of

legislative districts and establishes criteria for the drawing of legislative districts.

Following the canvass of the general election in each year that is divisible by ten, the

amendment requires the superintendent of public instruction to determine the mean

percentage of the vote received by candidates of the two major political parties for

certain statewide offices in the prior decade and to certify those mean percentages

to the legislature.

A proposed constitutional amendment requires adoption by two successive

legislatures, and ratification by the people, before it can become effective.
