Senate Reapportionment Plan Advances From House
The 40 district plan cleared the House by 68 to 48 and returns to the Senate for possible acceptance of a single boundary change moving a Pottawatomie County township from District 19 to 18. If rejected, a conference committee would decide before sending the measure to Gov. Docking, who has not yet indicated a position. Democratic lawmakers mostly opposed the bill as Republicans pushed for 40 districts with populations from 53 449 to 58 519 to satisfy a federal court order.
