The bill, known as the "Problem Solvers MAPS Act," mandates that states consider pre-existing political boundaries when establishing congressional districts. It prohibits districts from being drawn to favor or disfavor any competition, incumbent, candidate, or political party. Additionally, districts must be contiguous and as compact as possible, aiming for population equality. These requirements apply to any districts established after the bill's enactment.
