## Summary

**Public transparency in congressional redistricting** would be required nationwide. The bill would set detailed rules for public websites, hearings, data access, and public input when states draw House districts, and it would apply to redistricting after the 2030 census with transitional rules for certain pending court orders. - State redistricting entities would have to maintain a public website with meeting notices, streamed hearings, and no-cost downloads of maps and digital files such as block-equivalency data and shapefiles. - Residents, reporters, and community groups would get earlier and broader chances to shape plans through initial and post-development hearings in multiple regions, virtual participation, written comments, and targeted outreach to hard-to-reach and protected minority communities. - Before any final vote the entity would post a comprehensive analysis at least 10 days beforehand, explain who drafted the plan and how public input changed it, and hold a mandatory public hearing no later than 7 days before adoption.
