Special session scheduled for Iowa Legislature to consider redistricting plan

The Iowa Legislature will meet Oct. 28 to consider a second plan for redistricting congressional and legislative boundaries, according to a Friday proclamation by Gov. Kim Reynolds.

Senators rejected the first plan, so the nonpartisan Legislative Services Agency will deliver a second proposal to lawmakers Oct. 21.

If approved, the new districts will be in effect for the 2022 elections. If not, the Legislative Services Agency will prepare a third plan, which lawmakers can amend.

The Iowa Supreme Court has given legislators a Dec. 1 deadline to complete the redistricting plan.
