REAPPORTIONMENT: Provides relative to redistricting data involving incarcerated individuals
HB 432 requires Louisiana's Department of Public Safety and Corrections to collect and report specific data on incarcerated individuals, including their last known residential address before imprisonment, race, ethnicity, and age. This data will adjust the state's redistricting process so that incarcerated people are counted in their pre-incarceration communities - not at correctional facilities - when drawing legislative and local government districts. The Secretary of State must publish the adjusted population data within 30 days of federal redistricting data release. This ensures district boundaries reflect actual resident populations rather than prison locations, aligning with federal census practices.
