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 2011 redistricting.

The bill first applies with respect to the next decennial legislative redistricting

that occurs after its enactment.
