ID H0594

Deletes language from Idaho Code Section 72-1501 that allowed a Commission for Reapportionment to be reconvened if a court ordered revisions to an adopted plan prior to the next general election.

Requires any legal challenge to a reapportionment plan in the Commission's final report to be heard on an expedited basis by the Idaho Supreme Court.

If the Idaho Supreme Court cannot complete judicial review of a contested plan before the next legislative session or requires changes, the Legislature may review the final plan and make necessary modifications within 45 days of the session's beginning.

Requires the Legislature to adopt any modified reapportionment plan by concurrent resolution, which the Idaho Supreme Court will then review expeditiously, including any challenges from aggrieved parties.

If the Idaho Supreme Court cannot resolve all reapportionment issues by January 1 of the year for filing legislative candidate declarations, the next election will be conducted under the previous reapportionment plan.
