The resolution proposes a constitutional amendment to create an independent redistricting commission in Texas, tasked with drawing electoral districts for the U.S. House of Representatives, Texas Senate, and Texas House of Representatives. This commission will operate under Article XVIII of the Texas Constitution, with the authority to adopt redistricting plans while adhering to specific provisions. It will consist of 15 members appointed by a nonpartisan agency, ensuring diverse representation from various demographic groups. The appointment process is designed to be transparent and inclusive, with guidelines to promote impartiality and public participation. The commission will also be required to report on political expenditures related to its operations, aiming to enhance the fairness and transparency of the redistricting process.

The resolution outlines detailed procedures for appointing commission members, including eligibility criteria that require them to be registered voters and affiliated with only one political party (or none) in the past three years. The selection process involves public comment and review by a select committee, which can approve or reject proposed selection pools. The commission must develop redistricting plans that comply with constitutional and federal laws, protect minority voting rights, and respect communities of interest. It mandates public engagement through hearings and the publication of preliminary and final plans, ensuring transparency throughout the process. A nonpartisan agency will oversee the commission's operations, and a temporary provision is included to facilitate the transition to this new redistricting process, with a public vote on the proposed amendment scheduled for May 2026.
