Bill overview
This bill proposes to amend the Nevada Constitution to establish an independent redistricting commission. Currently, the Nevada Legislature is responsible for drawing district lines, which has been criticized for partisan bias. The proposed amendment would remove this legislative authority and transfer it to a new commission composed of registered voters and appointees from legislative leadership, with restrictions on political affiliation to promote impartiality. The commission would be tasked with drawing districts for the State Senate, Assembly, and U.S. House of Representatives, using specific criteria to ensure fair representation and compliance with the Constitution.
