House Joint Resolution 7009, sponsored by Powell, proposes an amendment to the Tennessee Constitution concerning the establishment and modification of congressional districts. The resolution stipulates that after each decennial census conducted by the U.S. Census Bureau, the Tennessee General Assembly will determine the composition of congressional districts, which cannot be altered until the next census. Changes to these districts between censuses are only permitted if necessary to address specific violations of the U.S. Constitution or the Voting Rights Act of 1965, and any such modifications must be narrowly tailored to address the identified issue.

The resolution also mandates that the proposed amendment be referred to the upcoming One Hundred Fifteenth General Assembly and requires its publication on the official websites of both the Secretary of State and the General Assembly, in accordance with the state's constitutional provisions. Additionally, the Clerk of the House of Representatives is instructed to deliver a copy of the resolution to the Secretary of State, excluding the final resolving clause from this copy.
