REAPPORTIONMENT/SENATE: Provides relative to Senate districts
HB 487 redefines Louisiana's 39 Senate districts by specifying the exact precincts that make up each district, replacing previous boundaries. It directly affects voters in the newly drawn districts across parishes like Orleans, Jefferson, St. Bernard, and St. Tammany, determining which senator represents them. The bill lists detailed precinct combinations for each district (e.g., District 1 includes specific Orleans and St. Bernard precincts), and repeals an outdated related law. This is a procedural redistricting measure, not a policy change, with no additional funding or regulations.
