What it would have done
Summary by the , the Legislature's nonpartisan drafting office. It's their wording, not ours.
Currently, the senate consists of 33 members representing 33 senate districts and the assembly consists of 99 members representing 99 assembly districts. Each senate district is composed of three underlying assembly districts.
This bill changes the number of senators to 25 and the number of representatives to the assembly to 75. Under the bill, each senate district is composed of three underlying assembly districts. The bill specifies the assembly district numbers that constitute each senate district but does not specify the boundaries of assembly districts. The boundaries of assembly districts under current statutes are based on the 1983 redistricting. In 2002, a U.S. district court substituted different boundaries by court order.
