decennial census.
Proposed law provides that the new districts become effective upon signature of the
governor or lapse of time for gubernatorial action for election purposes only for the regular
state legislative elections in 2027.  Retains present law districts based upon the 2020 census

based upon the 2020 census, as established by proposed law, become effective for all other

Proposed law specifies that precincts referenced in district descriptions are those identified
as Voting Districts (VTDs) contained in the 2020 Census Redistricting TIGER/Line

shall continue in effect until changed by law regardless of any subsequent change made to
the precincts by the parish governing authority.
