Committee Approves Bill To Slow Apportionment
Washington Senate Judiciary Committee moved a bill to delay court ordered reapportionment for up to two years, allowing states time to pursue a constitutional amendment. Dirksen backed quick action to attach the measure to major legislation Johnson would receive, while Keating reported the vote from a closed session. The bill would let states or citizens stay court directed reapportionment until end of the next legislature, changing balance between urban and rural areas and delaying one man one vote reforms already ordered by the Supreme Court.
