Legislation backed by Assembly Republicans and local governments would delay the drawing of political boundaries for a year or more.
Under the bill, county boards and local aldermanic districts would stay the same as they are now.
Redrawing those boundaries based on the 2020 U-S Census would be put on hold.
The bill wouldn’t affect redistricting for congressional or legislative districts.
Those borders must be redrawn before next year’s statewide elections.
Democrats say the law would be unconstitutional.
