MR. SPEAKER:

    I move that Engrossed Senate Bill 329 be recommitted to a Committee of One, its author, with specific instructions to amend as follows:

    Page 12, after line 4 , begin a new paragraph and insert: SECTION 25. IC 36-2-2-4 IS AMENDED TO READ AS FOLLOWS [EFFECTIVE JULY 1, 2001]: Sec. 4. (a) This subsection does not apply to a county having a population of:
    (1) more than four hundred thousand (400,000) but less than seven hundred thousand (700,000); or
    (2) more than two hundred thousand (200,000) but less than three hundred thousand (300,000). The executive shall divide the county into three (3) districts that are composed of contiguous territory and are reasonably compact. The district boundaries drawn by the executive must not cross precinct boundary lines and must divide townships only when a division is clearly necessary to accomplish redistricting under this section. If necessary, the county auditor shall call a special meeting of the executive to establish or revise districts.
    (b) This subsection applies to a county having a population of more than four hundred thousand (400,000) but less than seven hundred thousand (700,000). A county redistricting commission shall divide the
county into three (3) single-member districts that comply with subsection (d). The commission is composed of:
    (1) the members of the Indiana election commission;
    (2) two (2) members of the senate selected by the president pro tempore, one (1) from each political party; and
    (3) two (2) members of the house of representatives selected by the speaker, one (1) from each political party.
The legislative members of the commission have no vote and may act in

an advisory capacity. A majority vote of the voting members is required for the commission to take action. The commission may meet as frequently as necessary to perform its duty under this subsection. The commission's members above that provided for them as members of the Indiana election commission, the senate, or the house of representatives.
    (c) This subsection applies to a county having a population of more n two hundred thousand (200,000) but less than three hundred thousand (3) single-member districts that comply with subsection (d).
    (d) Single member districts established under subsection 9b) or (c) must:
    (1) be compact, subject only to natural boundary lines (such as railroads, major highways, rivers, creeks, parks, and major industrial complexes);
    (2) contain, as nearly as is possible, equal population; and
    (3) not cross precinct lines.
    (e) A division under subsection (a), (b), or (c) will be made:
    (1) in 2001 and every ten (10) years after that; and
    (2) when the county adopts an order declaring a county boundary to be changed under IC 36-2-1-2.
    (f) A division under subsection (a), (b), or (c) may be made in any odd-numbered year not described in subsection (e).
