Increase in Time for General Assembly to Remedy Redistricting Defects
This proposed bill would increase the minimum time a court must give the general assembly from 15 days to 90 days to fix any issues with redistricting plans. Before this change, courts were required to provide only 15 days for corrections. This affects state legislators and those involved in the redistricting process as it gives them more time to address any legal concerns raised by a court regarding their proposed district maps.
