119th Congress
H.R. 10381

Sets rules for lawsuits over state district maps

Allows people to sue within 30 days over new congressional district maps and sets court rules for those challenges, including replacement maps if a plan is found illegal.

  • Citizens can sue within 30 days after a state finalizes its congressional map
  • Cases go to the federal court in the state capital
  • Statewide claims go to a three-judge panel
  • If a map is found illegal, the state can propose a fix; otherwise the court adopts one
