Louisiana Senate Remap Act Upheld By Court
The Iowa county district court upheld the 1961 Louisiana Senate remap act with a ruling that the temporary two year terms for three new districts are unconstitutional. Judge Clair Hamilton held all other provisions constitutional noting the act aims to reapportion senate districts by population and aligns with constitutional term requirements. The decision preserves the act while striking the temporary term provision in Section 2.
