H.R. 10378 — Problem Solvers TRUST Act

This section prohibits a state from redistricting again after an initial post-apportionment redistricting until the next decennial apportionment, unless a court orders a subsequent redistricting to comply with the U.S. Constitution, a state constitution in effect at the time of the most recent apportionment, or federal law, and requires any such court-ordered map to minimize changes to existing districts. It further bars courts from ordering mid-decade redistricting unless a challenge is filed within 365 days after the plan’s enactment.

This section clarifies that the Act does not affect the manner in which states conduct elections for state or local office, including the process of establishing districts for those elections.
