Constitutional amendment to create a Commission on Redistricting and provide requirements for drawing district boundaries

This bill proposes a constitutional amendment to establish a nonpartisan Commission on Redistricting in Nebraska, replacing the Legislature's current role in drawing district boundaries for federal and state offices. The commission, composed of nine members (three each from Nebraska's two largest political parties and three unaffiliated voters), will be selected through a random process from a public pool of eligible applicants who meet strict nonpartisan criteria. The commission must follow specific rules when drawing districts - prioritizing federal law, population equality, contiguous areas, and avoiding racial discrimination - while explicitly prohibiting consideration of political party affiliation or voting history. It will hold public meetings in each congressional district, provide advance access to draft maps, and require written explanations for boundary decisions before submitting final maps to the Legislature for approval.
