DIGEST
SB 22 Original 2022 First Extraordinary Session Tarver
Present U.S. Constitution (14th Amendment) provides that representatives in congress shall
be apportioned among the several states according to their respective numbers, counting the
whole number of persons in each state. The U.S. Supreme Court has held that the population
of congressional districts in the same state must be as nearly equal in population as
practicable.
Proposed law redraws district boundaries for the six congressional districts, effective upon
signature of the governor or lapse of time for gubernatorial action for purposes of the 2022
election.

Proposed law retains present districts until noon on January 3, 2023, at which time present
law is repealed and proposed districts are effective for all other purposes.
Proposed law specifies that precincts referenced in district descriptions are those precincts
identified as Voting Districts (VTDs) in the 2020 Census Redistricting TIGER/Line
Shapefiles for the state of La. as validated through the data verification program of the La.
legislature. Also specifies that if any such precinct has been subdivided by action of the
parish governing authority on a nongeographic basis or subdivided by action of the parish
governing authority on a geographic basis in accordance with present law, the enumeration
of the general precinct designation shall include all nongeographic and all geographic
subdivisions thereof. Further provides that the territorial limits of the districts as enacted
shall continue in effect until changed by law regardless of any subsequent change made to
the precincts by the parish governing authority.
Proposed law specifies that proposed law does not reduce the term of office of any person
holding any position or office on the effective date of proposed law for which the
appointment or election is based upon a congressional district as composed pursuant to
present law. Specifies that any position or office filled after January 3, 2023, for which the
appointment or election is based on a congressional district shall be appointed or elected
from a district as it is described in proposed law.
Population data in the summaries accompanying this digest are derived from 2020 Census
