AI Summary

HJR 1001 proposes a constitutional amendment designed to abolish the current Board of Apportionment and replace it with a Citizens' Redistricting Commission. SECTION 1 This commission would be responsible for apportioning and redistricting districts for both U.S. House Representatives and Arkansas General Assembly members following each federal decennial census. The bill establishes detailed rules for the nine commissioners, including strict eligibility requirements that prohibit individuals from having served as elected or appointed officials, registered lobbyists, or political party officers/employees within the preceding five years. It also mandates high levels of public transparency, requiring all commission meetings and work products to be open to the public. The selection process is highly structured, involving a panel designated by the Chief Justice who screens applicants from three politically defined pools (largest, second largest, and other parties). The final nine commissioners are selected through random draws designed to ensure geographic and demographic representation across all congressional districts. Currently, the bill's status is that it died in the House Committee on State Agencies & Govt'l Affairs at the Sine Die adjournment on May 5, 2025.Detail
