State Senate agrees on redistricting proposal

COLUMBUS

Republicans and Democrats in the state Legislature have hammered out an agreement to reform the way the state draws its legislative districts after negotiations that stretched overnight Thursday.

The Ohio Senate OK’d the proposed constitutional amendment on a vote of 28-1 just after 4 a.m. Friday, and the Ohio House is expected to do the same on its final voting session of the year Wednesday.

The final resolution requires bipartisan agreement on new district lines or implements an “impasse” provision restarting the process, initially after four years.
