- California Proposition 77 (2005)

Official summary (From the Attorney General)
Redistricting. Initiative constitutional amendment.
* Amends process for redistricting California’s Senate, Assembly, Congressional and Board of Equalization districts.
* Requires panel of three retired judges, selected by legislative leaders, to adopt new redistricting plan if measure passes and after each national census.
* Panel must consider legislative, public comments/hold public hearings.
* Redistricting plan effective when adopted by panel and filed with Secretary of State; governs next statewide primary/general elections even if voters reject plan.
* If voters reject redistricting plan, process repeats, but officials elected under rejected plan serve full terms.
* Allows 45 days to seek judicial review of adopted redistricting plan.
Summary of Legislative Analyst's estimate of net state and local government fiscal impact:
* One-time costs for a redistricting plan. State costs totaling no more than $1.5 million and county costs in the range of $1 million.
* Potential reduction in costs for each redistricting effort after 2010, but net impact would depend on decisions by voters.
