LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST

SB 977, as introduced, Laird. County of San Luis Obispo Redistricting Commission.

Existing law requires the board of supervisors of each county, following each decennial federal census, and using that census as a basis, to adjust the boundaries of any or all of the supervisorial districts of the county so that the districts are as nearly equal in population as possible and comply with applicable federal law, and specifies the procedures the board of supervisors must follow in adjusting those boundaries. Existing law establishes redistricting commissions in certain counties, and charges them with adjusting the supervisorial district boundaries for those counties.

This bill would state the intent of the Legislature to establish an independent redistricting commission in the County of San Luis Obispo.
