REAPPORTIONMENT/SENATE: Provides for the districts for the election of members of the Senate

HB 701 is a procedural redistricting bill that defines the geographic boundaries for Louisiana's 39 Senate districts. It specifies which precincts in each parish will be grouped into individual districts for electing state senators, replacing the previous district map. The bill directly affects all Louisiana voters by determining which senator represents their specific geographic area. It does not change voting rules, policies, or create new programs - only reassigns precincts into new district configurations. The bill is currently in early stages, having been prefilled and referred to committee.
