House Speaker Scott Bedke (R-Oakley) will bring legislation to freeze the number of legislative districts at 35. This requires a constitutional amendment. This requires 2/3 of both houses and a simple majority of the people.
Alternate policy options: Freeze the number of legislative districts at a different number than 35. Increase the number of legislative districts in the state, one proposal calling for an increase to 45 from 35. Change the makeup of the redistricting commission. All require a constitutional amendment.
