Open in Lexace · Ask the AI about this section
A.  The Legislature declares that careful and diligent efforts
have been put forth in the preparation of the State House of
Representatives districts described in this act; provided, however,
if by some scrivener's error any census block has been inadvertently
and unintentionally placed as to be noncontiguous with the remainder
of the district to which it has been assigned, then it shall be the
duty of the Legislature in 2022 to correct such scrivener's error to
preserve the contiguity in such district.
B.  Any unassigned land within a district not specifically
provided for in this act shall be construed to be a part of the
district in which it is located.
C.  If the State House of Representatives Redistricting Act of
2021 or the State Senate Redistricting Act of 2021 requires any
county election board to create precincts pursuant to Section 3-116
of Title 26 of the Oklahoma Statutes where no persons reside, it
shall be the duty of the Speaker of the House of Representatives and
the President Pro Tempore of the Senate to adjust House or Senate
district lines to prevent the creation of precincts where no persons
reside.  Any adjustment shall not affect the total population of any
House or Senate district.
