Learn how Senate Bill 977, the bill to establish an independent Citizens Redistricting Commission (CRC), will affect the future drawing of Supervisorial district boundaries in SLO County. At a
“Lunch with the League” webinar on
Monday, June 17, at Noon, our panel of experts
Bruce Gibson, District 2 SLO County Supervisor,
Michael Latner, Professor of Political Science at Cal Poly, and
Megan Turley, Past Vice-chair, Santa Barbara County Citizens Independent Redistricting Commission, will discuss the movement to form CRCs in California, the specifics of SB 977, and the lessons learned from Santa Barbara County's Independent Redistricting Commission in 2021.
In January of this year, the County Board of Supervisors voted to have county staff work with Senator John Laird to sponsor a bill (SB 977) to establish an independent Citizens Redistricting Commission for the future drawing of Supervisorial district boundaries. SB 977 has passed the state Senate and is currently in the Assembly which must pass it by August 31. Once signed by the Governor it will go into effect in January 2025 and be used in the 2031 redistricting cycle following the 2030 census.
