To the extent practicable, districts must contain as nearly as may be an equal number of inhabitants. The commission must provide a specific public explanation for any deviation that exists.
Each district must consist of contiguous territory and be as compact in form as practicable.
Districts cannot be drawn to discourage competition or for the purpose of favoring or disfavoring incumbents or other particular candidates or political parties.
Maintenance of cores of existing districts, of pre-existing political subdivisions, and of communities of interest must be considered.

It would provide that a bill will be considered, printed and upon the desks of members of the Legislature if, first, it is set forth in a legible electronic format by electronic means, and, second, legislators are able to review the bill in the electronic format at their desks.
The proposal would establish that a bill is set forth by electronic, which means when it is sent between computers or other machines designed to send and receive information, the receiving legislators can print the bill if they choose, and the bill cannot be changed without leaving a record of the changes.
