SECTION
2 Section 22-1-2 of the General Laws in Chapter 22-1 entitled "Composition
of Senate" is hereby amended
to read as follows:
22-1-2.
Districts. -- The state is hereby divided into thirty-eight (38)
senatorial districts
bounded and described as follows:
(1)
It is understood and intended that for the purpose of this section a line
described as
running on, along, to or through
any street (including road, avenue, lane, way, parkway,
expressway, divided highway, state
route or interstate route, or trail), stream or river, is intended
to mean the center line of that
street, stream or river, in all instances, unless it shall be otherwise
specified.
(2)
It is further understood and intended that for the purpose of this section, the
districts
described in this section shall be
composed of United States census geography (tracts and blocks),
as defined by the 2000 version of
the "TIGER" files from the United States Census Bureau,
whose boundaries correspond to the
below metes and bounds set forth in this section and which
are hereby made a part of this
chapter. A listing of which census blocks are contained within each
district shall be deemed to be
incorporated by reference.
(3)
(i) It is further understood and intended that for the purpose of this section,
the
districts will be depicted on
thirty-nine (39) maps, compiled by Election Data Services, Inc. for
each city and town, and hereinafter
may be referred to as town maps.
(ii)
The secretary of state shall keep a copy of each set of the foregoing maps and
a copy
of the census tract and block
listing available for inspection during ordinary business hours at his
or her office. The secretary of
state shall furnish each city and town a copy of the town map
covering that particular city or
town within ten (10) days from the passage of this act. [February
20, 2002].
(iii)
For purposes of this title, references to "tract" or "CT"
shall mean "census tract", as
that demographic unit is
established by the United States Bureau of the Census for the 2000
census as described by maps and
publications of the bureau. References to "block",
"blocks",
"block groups",
"enumeration district", or "enumeration districts", refer
to those demographic
units as established by the United
States Census Bureau for the 2000 census as described by maps
and publications of the bureau.
(iv)
Any reference to a "city or town", "city or town
boundaries", or "city or town limits"
shall refer to the boundaries or
limits of the particular city or town as they existed on January 1,
2000.
(v)
In the census tract and block listing, the first two (2) digits of a census
description
shall refer to the state of Rhode
Island (44), the next three (3) digits of a census description shall
refer to the county in which the
district lies. Bristol county carries the code 001; Kent county
carries the code 003; Newport
county carries the code 005; Providence county carries the code
007 and Washington county carries
the code 009. The next six (6) digits refer to the census tract
within the county set forth in the
description. The last four (4) digits refer to the census block
within the census tract.
"TIGER" is an acronym for the computer readable geographic data base
that automates the mapping and
related geographic activities required to support the United
States' Census Bureau's census and
survey programs and stands for "Topologically Integrated
Geographic Encoding and
Referencing."
(vi)
If any census tract, block, block group, or enumeration district is omitted,
listed
more than once, or is only
partially provided for, it is intended that the districts be defined in such
a manner as to not omit any area of
Rhode Island from a district and to comply with the standard
of Articles VII and VIII of the
Rhode Island Constitution requiring that districts be reasonably
equal. In order to carry out the
intent of the general assembly as expressed in this section the
secretary of state, shall if
necessary, undertake measures to insure compliance with this section.
(vii) In the event of a discrepancy between the metes and bounds description,
the
description of census tracts and
blocks, and the maps which shall be on file with the secretary of
state, then the listing of census
tracts and blocks shall take precedence and be controlling.

8, 14,
15, 16 and 17 in office on the
effective date of this act shall not thereafter exercise any powers of

of each political party,
forthwith upon passage of this act, shall appoint the members of a
senatorial district committee
for each of those enumerated senatorial district. Each of said

contained shall be construed to vacate the office or terminate the term
of office of any state committee
member of any party prior to the party primary election in

SECTION
4. Wherever in the general laws or in any public law a duty is imposed upon
the president of a town council
or upon the local board of any city or town or upon a town clerk,
town sergeant or constable in
connection with the election of a senator such duty in the case of a
senatorial district comprising
parts or the whole of more than one (1) town shall be deemed to be
imposed upon the president of
the town council or local board or town clerk, town sergeant or
constable of each or all of the
towns in which such senatorial district shall lie. Wherever in the
general laws or in any public
law a duty is imposed upon the city committee, town committee, or
ward committee of a political
party in connection with the election of a senator, such duty shall be
deemed to be imposed upon the
senatorial district committee of the party as the context shall
require.
SECTION
5. Wherever in the general laws or in any public law reference is made to a
senator from any city or town,
or to the election of a senator from any city or town, such
reference shall mean and be
deemed to refer to a senator from a senatorial district, or the election
of a senator from a senatorial
district, as the context may require.
SECTION
6. This act shall be liberally construed to effectuate the purposes thereof and
to apportion the state into
senatorial districts in compliance with the requirements of the United
States Constitution. It is
intended that the senatorial districts described herein completely
encompass all the area within
the state and contain all the population residing in the state. It is
further intended that the
apportionment and districting provided for in this act results in the
creation of districts containing
substantially equal population. It is also intended that no senatorial
district shall include any of
the area included within the description of any other senatorial
district. If the districts
described in this act do not carry out the purposes thereof because of patent
unintentional omissions,
duplications, overlapping area, erroneous nomenclature, faulty
description of boundary lines,
street closings, changes in names of streets or of public places,
alteration of the courses of
rivers or streams, the filling in of lands under water or changes in
shorelines due to accretion, the
secretary of state is hereby authorized and empowered to correct
such omissions, overlaps,
erroneous nomenclature, or other defects in the description of districts
so as to accomplish the purposes
and objectives of this act. In making such corrections, the
secretary of state shall be
guided by the following standards:
(1)
gaps in the description of any district shall be completed in a manner which
results in
a total description of the
district in manner consonant with the description of adjacent districts;
(2)
areas included within the descriptions of more than one (1) district shall be
allocated
to the district having the
lowest population;
(3)
areas not included within the descriptions of any district shall be allocated
to the
adjacent district having the
lowest population.
SECTION
7. This act shall take effect upon passage; provided, however that the
provisions hereof shall first be
effective in connection with elections to be held on or subsequent
to the first day of September,
2004, and for the purpose of greater clarity, the first election under
the provisions of this act for
senator from each of the twelve (12) senatorial districts hereby
revised shall be held on the
Tuesday next after the first Monday in November, 2004, and the first
primary election under the
provisions of this act for nomination of candidates for senator from
each of said senatorial districts
shall be held on the second Tuesday after the first Monday in
September, 2004; provided,
however, that if any provision of this act or the application of such
provision to any person or under
any circumstances shall be held unconstitutional or otherwise
invalid or inoperative by a
decision of any court of competent jurisdiction, or if any action
performed or to be performed under
any provision of this act is restrained or enjoined by any
court of competent jurisdiction,
the remaining provisions of this act shall not be deemed to be
impaired or affected thereby but
shall be deemed to remain in full force and effect. Any primary
or special election held prior to
the first day of September, 2004, shall be conducted under the
laws as they existed prior to the
passage of this act.
