On January 13, the Senate adopted SR 4, related to establishing the Redistricting Committee and their rules for the 87th session. Notably, the committee will now be able to hold regional hearings in which the public can provide testimony via videoconference. During her introduction of the resolution, Sen. Huffman (R- Houston) stated these rules will also apply during any “special sessions.” She postulates Census numbers will be delivered early-summer, but notes this date is extremely difficult to determine. Sen. Huffman noted the committee aims to start conducting committee business on January 25.
