Composition of apportionment of legislative districts changed, conforming statutory changes made, and constitutional amendment proposed.

HF 478 proposes a constitutional amendment to change Minnesota's legislative district boundaries. It would require each county to have at least one Senate district (increasing the total from 67 to 87) and apportion House districts based on population across the state. The bill also updates statutory language to reflect these changes, including increasing Senate membership from 67 to 87 members. If approved by voters in the 2026 general election, these district changes would take effect for the next legislative session.
