SUMMARY AS PASSED:

Senate and House of Delegates districts. Makes adjustments in the boundaries between the Thirty-eighth and Fortieth Senatorial districts and the First and Second Delegate districts in Wise County in order to eliminate a split precinct and between the Sixth and Seventh Delegate districts in Pulaski County to follow local election district lines. The First District population deviation after the adjustment will be -2.3 percent, greater than the two percent deviation followed in the 2001 redistricting plan.

SUMMARY AS PASSED HOUSE:

House of Delegates districts. Makes adjustments in the boundary between the First and Second districts in Wise County in order to eliminate a split precinct. The First District population deviation after the adjustment will be -2.3 percent, greater than the two percent deviation followed in the 2001 redistricting plan.

SUMMARY AS INTRODUCED:

House of Delegates districts. Makes adjustments in the boundaries between the First and Second districts in Wise County and the Second and Third districts in Russell County in order to eliminate split precincts. The First District population deviation after the adjustment will be -2.3 percent, greater than the two percent deviation followed in the 2001 redistricting plan. The maximum deviations for the Second and Third districts cannot be determined because the County's precinct line splits census blocks, the smallest geographical unit for which population is reported by the U.S. Census Bureau. The 2001 House redistricting plan did not split blocks.
