Indiana state lawmakers will gavel in next month to consider a redistricting measure in response to insistent demands from President Donald Trump, reversing an earlier decision by the state Senate.
The state House will reconvene on Dec. 1 to take up “all legislative business,” including redrawing the state’s congressional map, Speaker Todd Huston said in a statement Tuesday.
The state Senate will gavel in on Dec. 8. “The issue of redrawing Indiana’s congressional maps mid-cycle has received a lot of attention and is causing strife here in our state,” Senate President Pro Tempore Rodric Bray said in a statement, adding that his chamber would “make a final decision that week on any redistricting proposal sent from the House.”
