Introduced
Summary
Would ban most mid-decade congressional redistricting and force courts to minimize map changes. It would create national limits on when states can redraw U.S. House districts while allowing narrow, court-ordered fixes that change maps as little as possible.
Show full summary
- Voters: Many people would keep the same congressional district boundaries until the next federal apportionment, so fewer mid-decade changes would affect who represents them.
- State governments: State legislatures would be barred from enacting new U.S. House maps between apportionments, and the bill preserves how states run state and local elections.
- Courts and timing: Courts could still order redistricting to meet constitutional or federal-law requirements, but challenges must be filed within 365 days of a plan's enactment and judges must minimize map changes. The rule would apply to congressional redistricting that occurs after the regularly scheduled federal election in November 2032.

Limits mid-decade U.S. House maps
This bill would bar a State that redrew its U.S. House districts after a decennial apportionment from redrawing again until after the next apportionment. A court could still order redistricting to fix violations of the U.S. Constitution, the State constitution in effect at the time of the last apportionment, or to enforce federal law. If a court orders changes, the new map would have to minimize changes to the State’s district map to the greatest extent possible. A lawsuit challenging a plan would have to be filed within 365 days after the plan was enacted into law. The rule would apply only to Congressional redistricting that occurs after the regularly scheduled federal election in November 2032. The bill would not affect how states run state or local elections or set districts for those elections.
