Legislative findings
Official statutory text
The Legislature finds that:
1. Pursuant to 13 U.S. Code, Section 141(c), the United States
Census Bureau is required to transmit to each state by April 1,
2021, the tabulations of population of that state as determined by
the Federal Decennial Census. The U.S. Census Bureau failed to meet
the deadline which necessitates the use of the best alternative
population data to accomplish the legislative redistricting
requirements set forth in the Oklahoma Constitution;
2. The United States Census Bureau's American Community Survey
is the best alternative to the Federal Decennial Census as the
American Community Survey Five-Year Data for the years 2015 to 2019
is the best population data available for legislative redistricting;
and
3. The Oklahoma Legislature shall use the United States Census
Bureau's American Community Survey Five-Year Data for 2015-2019 to
draft redistricting legislation for the Oklahoma State Senate and
the Oklahoma House of Representatives.
