States would use independent groups to draw congressional voting maps.
This bill would make most states use independent groups to draw their congressional voting maps. These groups would follow clear rules to stop unfair political favoritism and get public ideas. The aim is to make drawing voting districts more open and fair for everyone, starting with the 2030 census.
Today, many state legislatures draw their own congressional district maps, which can sometimes result in districts shaped to favor one political party. After this bill, most states would be required to use independent commissions to draw these maps, following strict rules to ensure fairness, transparency, and public input. This change would largely take effect for the redistricting process after the 2030 census.
