Relating to the reapportionment of state legislative, congressional, and judicial districts and the functions and duties of the independent redistricting commission.

HB 3031 establishes specific rules for Texas' independent redistricting commission, which redraws state legislative, congressional, and judicial districts after each census. The bill requires the commission to include population data, map visuals, and cost estimates in its reports, while prohibiting consideration of political factors like incumbents' residences or party affiliation when creating district maps. It also mandates commission funding, access to census data, and technical support from the Texas Legislative Council. This bill directly affects how Texas districts are drawn, impacting all voters whose voting districts are reconfigured every decade. The commission must comply with constitutional standards while following these new procedural requirements.
