SECTION 21000-21002
21000. The county elections official in each county shall compile and make available to the Legislature or any appropriate committee of the Legislature any information and statistics that may be necessary for use in connection with the reapportionment of legislative districts, including, but not limited to, precinct maps indicating the boundaries of municipalities, school districts, judicial districts, Assembly districts, senatorial districts and congressional districts, lists showing the election returns for each precinct, and election returns for each precinct reflecting the vote total for all ballots cast, including both vote by mail ballots and ballots cast at polling places, compiled pursuant to subdivision (a) of Section 15321 in the county at each statewide election. If the county elections official stores the information and statistics in data-processing files, he or she shall make the files available, along with whatever documentation shall be necessary in order to allow the use of the files by the appropriate committee of the Legislature and shall retain these files until the next reapportionment has been completed. Each precinct shall be identified according to the census tract or enumeration district in which it is located. When a precinct is divided among two or more census tracts or enumeration districts, the county elections official shall include an estimate of the proportion of the precinct's registered voters in each census tract or enumeration district. If the United States Census Bureau divides or alters any census tract or enumeration district between the time of an election and the census upon which the reapportionment is based, the county elections official shall provide whatever corrections or additional information may be necessary to reflect those changes. 21001. (a) Appropriate committees of the Legislature shall prepare detailed maps showing the boundaries of any districts established by this division on or after January 1, 1991. These maps shall be prepared no later than 90 days following the enactment of any redistricting plan pursuant to this division, and shall illustrate the boundary lines of every district described in the redistricting plan. The maps shall be provided to the Secretary of State for distribution in accordance with subdivisions (b) and (c), and to the county elections officials for use in their administrative functions involved in the conduct of elections, not later than the first day on which in-lieu-filing-fee petitions may be obtained for the 2002 direct primary election. (b) The Secretary of State shall provide each Member of the Senate, Assembly, and the State Board of Equalization, and each Member of Congress from California, with one copy of a map or maps of his or her district. One copy of the entire set of maps for the Assembly shall be provided to the Assembly Committee on Rules, one copy of the entire set of maps for the Senate shall be provided to the Senate Committee on Rules, and one copy of the entire set of maps for the State Board of Equalization shall be provided to the State Board of Equalization. (c) The Secretary of State shall also make copies of the maps available for public inspection. (d) There shall be no charge for the maps provided pursuant to this section. 21002. Each house of the Legislature shall be a proper party to, and, if not originally named as a party, shall have the right to intervene in, any action involving the validity or application of any statute that provides for changes in the boundaries of any legislative districts of members of that particular house.
