Illinois HJRCA0028 proposes a constitutional amendment to change how legislative and representative districts are drawn.

Illinois HJRCA0028 proposes to amend the Illinois Constitution to change how legislative and representative districts are drawn. The amendment prioritizes districts being substantially equal in population, ensuring no citizen is denied an equal opportunity to participate in the political process on account of race, creating racial coalition or influence districts where practical, and being contiguous and compact. The General Assembly must redistrict by law each year following a federal census.
