CA AB1848

Secretary of State must provide electronic copies of certified redistricting maps to county elections officials, the Chief Clerk of the Assembly, Senate Committee on Rules, California congressional delegation members, and State Board of Equalization upon receipt from Citizens Redistricting Commission.

Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation must furnish inmate information to the Legislature and Citizens Redistricting Commission by 90 days after each decennial Census Day, including unique identifiers, pre-incarceration residential addresses, ethnicity, race, and current facility address.

Citizens Redistricting Commission is required to deem each incarcerated person as residing at their last known place of residence rather than at their correctional facility for redistricting purposes.

Inmates incarcerated outside California, those with unknown last known residence, and federal inmates in California facilities must be excluded from district population counts and assigned to unknown geographical locations.

Race and ethnicity data in districts containing prisons must be adjusted to reflect population changes resulting from inmates being counted in their last known residence districts instead of prison locations.
