Title

Legislative Redistricting plans, introduction, Joint Rule 24 amended

Summary

Alabama SJR94 amends Joint Rule 24 to shorten the lead time for presenting redistricting plan drafts to the Reapportionment Office before introduction.

What This Bill Does

It changes the required lead time from 10 days to 5 days before introduction for redistricting drafts not prepared by the Reapportionment Office. It still requires the Reapportionment Office to review the draft for proper form and to enter it into the Legislative Data Bank prior to introduction. The rule applies to plans presented for introduction at any legislative session.

Who It Affects

• Drafts of redistricting plans not prepared by the Reapportionment Office are affected because they must be submitted to the office 5 days before introduction for review and data entry.
• The Reapportionment Office is affected because it must review the drafts for proper form and enter them into the Legislative Data Bank within the shortened 5-day window.

Key Provisions

• Amends Joint Rule 24 to require drafts of redistricting plans not prepared by the Reapportionment Office to be presented to the Reapportionment Office for review and entry into the Legislative Data Bank at least 5 days before introduction (changing the prior 10-day requirement).
• Maintains that the rule applies to redistricting plans for introduction at any session and requires the Reapportionment Office to review for proper form and to enter the plan into the Legislative Data Bank before introduction.
