Redistricting is required to take place every ten years to address population shifts within a state since the last census.
Finneran’s proposed redistricting has yet to be voted on by the full House. The state Senate will design its own plan over the next several months, which will have to be reconciled with the House plan. The redistricting will take effect with the election held in Nov. 2002.
