Proposing a constitutional amendment establishing the Texas Redistricting Commission to redistrict the United States House of Representatives and the Texas Legislature.
This bill proposes a constitutional amendment to create the Texas Redistricting Commission, replacing the current Legislative Redistricting Board. The new commission would handle redistricting for Texas' U.S. House delegation and both chambers of the Texas Legislature, taking effect January 1, 2030. The commission must convene for its first meeting on the first business day after January 31, 2031, and the existing board would be abolished on the 2030 effective date. This change directly affects how Texas draws electoral district boundaries for federal and state legislative elections.
