What this bill does
Plain-language analysis by the nonpartisan Legislative Reference Bureau
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.
The bill first applies with respect to the next decennial legislative redistricting
that occurs after its enactment.
