Committee approves one‑year extension for statewide judicial redistricting deadlines
Summary
Committee adopted an amendment to push back judicial redistricting completion and the General Assembly's reapportionment deadlines by one year to allow more time for planning and to ensure access to courts; the bill passed out of committee unanimously.
Senator Wally described an amendment that "simply extends the completion date for the proposed statewide judicial redistricting plan from 01/01/2027 to 01/01/2028," and also extends the General Assembly's reapportionment deadline by a year to allow time for reapportionment of judicial districts.
The sponsor said the change is intended to provide reasonable and timely access to circuit, chancery and criminal courts and that the amendment makes the bill. The committee adopted the amendment and passed the bill to calendar with a unanimous roll call (9 ayes).
