The Florida Legislature is set to begin its decennial redistricting process next week when the Senate’s Reapportionment Committee meets Monday and the House Legislative Redistricting Committee holds hearings Wednesday and Thursday.

The two panels will use 2020 Census population data to reconfigure the state Legislature’s 40 senate districts and 120 House districts in hearings through the fall with reapportioned districts to be approved by lawmakers during their 2020 session that begins in January in time for November’s elections.
