Composition of apportionment of legislative districts changed, conforming statutory changes made, and constitutional amendment proposed.

This bill proposes changes to how legislative districts in Minnesota are divided and represented. It aims to adjust the rules for apportioning these districts and includes a suggestion for a constitutional amendment related to this process. The bill is currently in the introductory stage.

Supporters of this bill argue that it will create a fairer and more equitable representation in the Minnesota legislature by updating the district composition. They believe that these changes will better reflect the population distribution and ensure that all voices are heard in the political process.

Critics of the bill contend that the proposed changes could lead to gerrymandering and undermine the integrity of the electoral process. They argue that altering the apportionment rules may disproportionately benefit certain political groups and diminish fair representation for all citizens.
