Bill overview
The Fair Maps Act aims to reform congressional redistricting in the United States by requiring states to use independent redistricting commissions to draw district lines. It establishes a process for selecting these commissions, ensuring diverse membership and prohibiting mid-decade redistricting. The act also sets criteria for redistricting plans, prioritizing constitutional compliance, voting rights, and community cohesion, while restricting consideration of political factors. Finally, it outlines procedures for court involvement and provides for state funding and civil enforcement.
