Description
The Elections, Reapportionment and Constitutional Amendments Committee is the most recent Senate committee to oversee election
law, redistricting and reapportionment, and, beginning in 2005, constitutional amendments. Throughout the life of the committee
its scope appears to have remained that of bills relating to elections and reapportionment, with the addition of hearing constitutional
amendments in 2005. The Senate Elections, Reapportionment and Constitutional Amendments Committee records consist of Bill
