Update on Redistricting Legislation Activity

Filing of the Redistricting Act

Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â 1. HB211 â€“ Redistricting Act has been filed in the House by Representatives Rebecca Dow,
Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Natalie Figueroa, Kelly Fajardo and Joy Garratt. It has been assigned to House State
Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Government, Elections and Indian Affairs Committee. At the bottom is contact information
Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â for committee members. Please call them and urge them to support HB211 â€“ Redistricting
Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Act. Â We are told they arenâ€™t paying much attention to emails and the office phones are only
Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â answered on weekdays, so call then. The Chair of the Committee, Georgene Louis, has already
Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â signed on as Â a co-sponsor as has Committee member Greg Nibert. We have over 15 other co-
Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â sponsors â€“ both Republicans and Democrats.Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â

Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â 2. The Senate version of the bill will be filed on Monday by Senators Ortiz y Pino and Moores.
Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â The Senate has not had a floor session for over a week and you need to have a bill read in
Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â on the floor before it gets a number and committee assignments. We expect it will go to Senate
Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Rules and Senate Judiciary. The vast majority of Senate Rules is also on Judiciary. We will
Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â send out an alert as soon as we get a bill number.
