The resolution proposes a constitutional amendment to create an independent redistricting commission in Texas, tasked with overseeing the drawing and modification of electoral districts for the U.S. House of Representatives, Texas Senate, and Texas House of Representatives. This commission, operating under Article XVIII of the Texas Constitution, aims to eliminate partisan manipulation in the redistricting process by ensuring that district boundaries can only be altered as specified in the amendment. The commission will consist of 15 members appointed by a nonpartisan agency, with a structured selection process designed to ensure diverse political and demographic representation. The commission's plans will require majority approval, including input from various political affiliations, and will be subject to transparency and public engagement throughout the process.

The resolution outlines detailed procedures for the appointment of commission members, emphasizing the need for impartiality and transparency. It mandates that applicants disclose their political activity history and establishes criteria for eligibility, including voter registration and political party affiliation. The commission is required to hold public hearings and solicit community input on preliminary redistricting plans, which must be published for public comment before finalization. The resolution also includes provisions for the approval process of selection pools and redistricting plans, ensuring that the commission operates fairly and in compliance with constitutional and federal laws while protecting minority voting rights. Overall, the amendment seeks to enhance the integrity of the redistricting process in Texas by fostering public participation and accountability.
