114-hjres-80 114 hjres 80 Fair Districts Amendment Congress 2016-01-11 2016-02-03 Referred to the Subcommittee on the Constitution and Civil Justice. House Rep. Grayson, Alan [D-FL-9] FL D G000556 0 Constitutional Amendment Fair Districts Amendment This joint resolution proposes a constitutional amendment requiring a state, in establishing districts for the election of Representatives in Congress, to ensure that: no plan for the apportionment of Representatives among individual districts, or any individual district established under such plan, is drawn with the intent to favor or disfavor a political party or an incumbent; districts shall not be drawn with the intent or result of denying or abridging the equal opportunity of racial or language minorities to participate in the political process or to diminish their ability to elect Representatives of their choice; and districts shall consist of contiguous territory. Districts shall be as nearly equal in population as is practicable, shall be compact, and shall utilize existing political and geographical boundaries where feasible, unless compliance with such a requirement conflicts with the previous requirements of this joint resolution. 2023-01-11T13:32:19Z
