ISSUE
Texans must trust that the maps drawn to designate who represents them in government are drawn fairly and transparently. House Bill 3112 would bring transparency to the entire process of redistricting in Texas. It would:
- Require development of a website that would include public notices of hearings, provide data used in redistricting, and be a portal for public comments and questions.
- Require legislative committees involved in redistricting to hold public hearings both before and after Census data is delivered.
- Require that certain data considered during development of a redistricting plan be made public in a timely manner.
To date, HB 3112 has not been scheduled for a hearing in committee. We want to bring redistricting into the sunlight. The first step is getting it heard and passed out of committee.
CONTACT COMMITTEE MEMBERS
Every Texan interested in redistricting should call members of the House Redistricting committee (contact info below) and ask that HB 3112 be scheduled for a hearing.
