AI-Generated Summary

Updated September 22, 2026 at 5:42 AM UTC

The Problem Solvers TRUST Act would stop states from redrawing their U.S. House districts more than once after each ten‑year census. A state that has already completed its post‑census redistricting could only do another round if a court orders it, and any legal challenge to the original map must be filed within a year of that map’s adoption. The law does not change how states draw districts for state or local elections, and it takes effect for any congressional redistricting that occurs after the 2032 federal elections.

Key Provisions

  • Limits each state to a single congressional redistricting after a decennial census, unless a court requires a new map to comply with the U.S. Constitution, state constitution, or federal law.
  • If a court orders a new redistricting, the state must keep changes to the district map as minimal as possible.
  • A civil lawsuit challenging a redistricting plan must be filed within 365 days of the plan’s enactment for a court to order a new map.
  • Clarifies that the rule does not affect how states conduct elections for state or local offices.
  • Applies to any congressional redistricting that occurs after the November 2032 federal election.
