• Updates precinct names in the Fourth Circuit Court District (Leflore, Sunflower, and Washington Counties) to conform to 2010 Census data following previously delayed judicial redistricting.

• Divides the Fourth Circuit Court District into four subdistricts with specified precincts in each county, replacing outdated precinct nomenclature while maintaining subdistrict boundaries from 1990 Census as required by law.

• Establishes that precinct boundaries follow Census Bureau's 2010 TIGER/Line Shapefiles released in November 2010, with partial or split precincts identified by asterisks.

• Directs the Standing Joint Legislative Committee on Reapportionment to provide counties with census block equivalency files and maps to identify subdistrict boundaries.

• Becomes effective retroactively to April 22, 2015, and authorizes the Secretary of State to correct any technical errors in district descriptions to ensure complete coverage without gaps or overlaps.
