FL H6011

Apportions Florida into 120 single-member House districts and 40 single-member Senate districts of contiguous territory, using plans H000H9049 (House) and a corresponding Senate plan, as authorized under Section 8(a), Article X of the Florida State Constitution

Adopts the United States Decennial Census of 2010 as the official state census for apportionment, with population figures based on data provided under Pub. L. No. 94-171

Defines all district boundaries using official U.S. Census Bureau geography—counties, voting tabulation districts (VTDs), census tracts, and census blocks—with block-level precision where VTDs are split between districts

Covers all 67 Florida counties, with several kept whole within single districts: Charlotte (District 75), Hendry (District 80), Sumter (District 33), Citrus (District 34), Indian River (District 54), Glades, Highlands, and Okeechobee (District 55), and DeSoto and Hardee (District 56), among others

Heavily populated counties are divided among multiple districts, including Palm Beach County (approximately 10 districts), Broward County (approximately 13 districts), Miami-Dade County (approximately 15 districts), Hillsborough County (approximately 8 districts), and Orange County (approximately 8 districts)

Territory entirely surrounded by a single district is deemed included in that district; other unspecified territory is assigned to the contiguous district with the least population per legislator based on the 2010 Census, with ties resolved by assignment to the lowest-numbered contiguous district

Noncontiguous territory within a district is reassigned to the contiguous district with the least population, with ties again going to the lowest-numbered contiguous district

Districts established constitute the official representative and senatorial districts of the state, from which members shall be elected as provided by law

Contains a severability clause providing that if any provision or individual district is held invalid, the invalidity does not affect other provisions or districts that can be given effect independently

Applies to the qualification, nomination, and election of Legislature members beginning with primary and general elections held in 2012 and thereafter
