The resolution proposes an amendment to Section 16 of Article III of the Florida State Constitution, aimed at revising the methods of legislative reapportionment and increasing the number of Senate and House districts. It establishes three independent redistricting commissions—one for the Senate, one for the House of Representatives, and one for congressional districts. Each commission will be responsible for creating district maps, which must be approved by a two-thirds majority of the commissioners, including at least two members from independent or minor parties. The resolution also outlines the selection process for commissioners, requiring a diverse representation and barring certain individuals from serving, such as current officeholders and lobbyists.
Additionally, the resolution mandates that if the legislature fails to adopt a district map, the Supreme Court will select the most compact map from those submitted by the commissions. It increases the number of Senate districts from 40 to 60 and House districts from 120 to 180, while also establishing procedures for public hearings and ensuring transparency in the redistricting process. The amendment will be submitted to voters for approval in the next general election or a special election authorized by law.
