This bill proposes an amendment to the Minnesota Constitution to change how the state's legislative districts are structured. It seeks to adjust the number of members in the Senate and House of Representatives according to state law, with representation in the House based on the population distribution across various state sections, and Senate representation based on counties, assigning one senator to each county. The bill will be put to voters in the general election of 2026, where they will decide whether to approve these changes. Additionally, the bill includes updates to the Minnesota Statutes to reflect the new numbers and distribution of legislative districts. If passed, these changes aim to realign legislative representation to match population and regional changes in Minnesota.
