A lawsuit has been filed challenging the timeline of proposed legislation regarding redistricting, claiming it violates the state constitution's requirement for a 30-day public review period. The lawsuit criticizes the process, indicating that it bypasses extensive public participation and transparency, which should involve an independent citizens redistricting commission. The legislators involved are represented by the Dhillon Law Group, indicating a conservative legal standpoint. Additionally, the National Republican Congressional Committee has signaled its intention to contest efforts made by Governor Newsom in redistricting.
The lawsuit argues that the legislation's timeline undermines the state constitution's 30-day rule for public review.
Instead of a months-long transparent and participatory process overseen by an independent citizens redistricting commission for such a sensitive matter, the public would be presented with an up or down vote on maps unilaterally prepared in secret by the Legislature.
The legislators are represented by Dhillon Law Group, a conservative law firm.
The National Republican Congressional Committee said on Friday it was prepared to fight Newsom's redistricting attempts.
