  • California Assembly Constitutional Amendment
  • 2025-2026 Regular Session
  • Introduced in Assembly Feb 20, 2025
  • Passed Assembly Aug 21, 2025
  • Passed Senate Aug 21, 2025
  • Became Law Aug 21, 2025

A resolution to propose to the people of the State of California an amendment to the Constitution of the State, by adding Section 4 to Article XXI thereof, relating to redistricting.

Abstract

The California Constitution establishes the Citizens Redistricting Commission, which is required to adjust the boundary lines of congressional, Senate, Assembly, and State Board of Equalization districts in the year following the year in which the national census is taken at the beginning of each decade. This measure, which would include a legislative finding that it is in response to redistricting in Texas in 2025, would, notwithstanding the authority of the Citizens Redistricting Commission, require the state to temporarily use the congressional districts reflected in AB 604 of the 2025–26 Regular Session for every congressional election until the new congressional boundary lines are drawn by the commission in 2031.
