GA96SJRCA121 96 SJRCA 121 CONAMEND-REDISTRICTING Proposes to amend the Legislature Article of the Illinois Constitution concerning the decennial redistricting of Legislative and Representative Districts. Provides that the Senate, by resolution, instead of "the General Assembly by law", shall divide the Legislative Districts into 3 groups for the determination of terms of office. Eliminates the requirement that Legislative Districts be divided into 2 Representative Districts. Requires Districts, in order of priority, to be substantially equal in population; provide racial minorities and language minorities with the equal opportunity to participate in the political process and elect candidates of their choice; provide racial minorities and language minorities who constitute less than a voting-age majority of a District with an opportunity to control or substantially influence the outcome of an election; be contiguous; respect, to the extent practical, communities of interest; respect, to the extent practical, municipal boundaries; and be compact. Provides for the General Assembly to redistrict Legislative and Representative Districts by law by June 20. If that fails, provides for the Senate to redistrict Legislative Districts and the House to redistrict Representative Districts, each by resolution adopted by three-fifths of the members elected. If no resolution is adopted by July 20, provides for a Senate or House Redistricting Commission to redistrict by August 20. If that fails, provides for a Special Master. If that fails or a bill, resolution, or plan is invalidated, the General Assembly may redistrict by law. Requires hearings and allows for the public to submit plans. Effective upon being declared adopted. http://www.ilga.gov/legislation/BillStatus.asp?DocNum=121&GAID=10&DocTypeID=SJRCA&LegId=53264&SessionID=76&GA=96 2010-04-27 00:00:00 House House Floor Amendment No. 2 Referred to Rules Committee 0 26 HRUL 2010-04-27 00:00:00 House House Floor Amendment No. 2 Filed with Clerk by Rep.
