States would face limits on redrawing U.S. House maps mid-decade

Officially: Restoring Electoral Stability to Enhance Trust (RESET) Act of 2025

States usually could redraw U.S. House districts only once after each national census. Extra map changes would be allowed only for court-related fixes or voter-approved changes tied to the Constitution or the Voting Rights Act.

Where it stands

Sitting in House Committee

No vote scheduled. Constituent contact is what moves bills out of committee.

What this bill actually does

After the first map following each 10-year census, states generally could not redraw U.S. House districts again until the next census.
States could redraw U.S. House maps if a court says a new map is needed to follow the U.S. Constitution or enforce the Voting Rights Act of 1965.
If a court draws a map, the state could still replace it. The state legislature or a redistricting commission created by the state constitution could adopt another map that follows the law.
