An act relating to how to count certain offenders for the purpose of periodic reapportionment of districts for the General Assembly
Read first time and referred to the Committee on Government Operations and Military Affairs
Summary
The measure directs the Department of Corrections to record each inmate's residential address before incarceration and share that data with the Legislative Apportionment Board after each decennial census. The Board must then use those home addresses—rather than the prison location—to adjust population counts for drawing House and Senate districts, except for inmates serving life without parole. This change could shift political representation by more accurately reflecting where inmates live.
