Illinois HJRCA0012 proposes a constitutional amendment to change legislative redistricting rules.

Illinois HJRCA0012 proposes a constitutional amendment to change how legislative districts are redistricted. The amendment would establish an Apportionment Commission to create redistricting plans instead of the General Assembly. The Commission would consist of members appointed by county boards, the House and Senate leaders, and the Secretary of State. The amendment mandates that districts preserve political subdivisions and communities of interest. It prohibits the use of partisan data, election results, and socioeconomic data when drawing district boundaries.
