§ 1901. Purpose
- (a) The Supreme Court of the United States has ruled that the Equal Protection Clause
of the Fourteenth Amendment to the U.S. Constitution requires all state legislative bodies to be apportioned in such manner as to achieve
substantially equal weighting of the votes of all voters in the choice of legislators. (b) To comply with such requirement it will be necessary to reapportion the House of Representatives
and the Senate at periodic intervals, so that changes may be recognized in legislative
apportionment. (c) It is the purpose of this chapter to achieve such reapportionment in an orderly and
impartial manner. (Added 1965, No. 97, § 1; amended 2019, No. 2, § 1, eff. Jan. 1, 2021; 2019, No. 67, § 3.)
