Proposed law redraws district boundaries for the seven supreme court districts and assigns
each justice in office to a district.
Proposed law specifies that precincts referenced in district descriptions are those precincts
contained in the file named "2024 Precinct Shapefiles (01-10-2024)" available on the
legislature's website. The 2024 Precinct Shapefiles are based upon those Voting Districts
(VTDs) contained in the 2020 Census Redistricting TIGER/Line Shapefiles for the State of
La. as those files have been modified and validated through the data verification program
of the La. House of Representatives and the La. Senate to represent precinct changes
submitted through Jan. 10, 2024, to the Legislature of La. by parish governing authorities.
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.
Population data in the summaries accompanying this digest are derived from 2020 Census
Redistricting Data (Public Law 94-171), Summary File for La. Population data, statistical
information, and maps are supplied for purposes of information and analysis and comprise
no part of proposed law.
Effective upon signature of governor or lapse of time for gubernatorial action.
