RELATING TO THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY - COMPOSITION OF THE SENATE
Introduced By: Senators Ruggerio, Alves, Lanzi, Tassoni, and Badeau
Date Introduced: May 19, 2005
Referred To: Senate Judiciary
It is enacted by the General Assembly as follows:
1 SECTION 1. Section 22-1-2 of the General Laws in Chapter 22-1 entitled "Composition
2 of Senate" is hereby amended to read as follows:
3 22-1-2. Districts. -- [Note: This section is set out as it appears in P.L. 2002, ch. 4.
4 However, the director of law revision of the joint committee on legislative services anticipates
5 several substantive errors that will require further legislative action. Section 22-11-3.4 precludes
6 the presentation of these expected changes, as such action would exceed the authority granted.]
7 The state is hereby divided into thirty-eight (38) senatorial districts bounded and described as
8 follows:
9 (1) It is understood and intended that for the purpose of this section a line described as
10 running on, along, to or through any street (including road, avenue, lane, way, parkway,
11 expressway, divided highway, state route or interstate route, or trail), stream or river, is intended
12 to mean the center line of that street, stream or river, in all instances, unless it shall be otherwise
13 specified.
14 (2) It is further understood and intended that for the purpose of this section, the districts
15 described in this section shall be composed of United States census geography (tracts and blocks),
16 as defined by the 2000 version of the "TIGER" files from the United States Census Bureau,
17 whose boundaries correspond to the below metes and bounds set forth in this section and which
18 are hereby made a part of this chapter. A listing of which census blocks are contained within each
19 district shall be deemed to be incorporated by reference. 1 (3) (i) It is further understood and intended that for the purpose of this section, the
2 districts will be depicted on thirty-nine (39) maps, compiled by Election Data Services, Inc. for
3 each city and town, and hereinafter may be referred to as town maps.
4 (ii) The secretary of state shall keep a copy of each set of the foregoing maps and a copy
5 of the census tract and block listing available for inspection during ordinary business hours at his
6 or her office. The secretary of state shall furnish each city and town a copy of the town map
7 covering that particular city or town within ten (10) days from the passage of this act.
8 (iii) For purposes of this title, references to "tract" or "CT" shall mean "census tract", as
9 that demographic unit is established by the United States Bureau of the Census for the 2000
10 census as described by maps and publications of the bureau. References to "block", "blocks",
11 "block groups", "enumeration district", or "enumeration districts", refer to those demographic
12 units as established by the United States Census Bureau for the 2000 census as described by maps
13 and publications of the bureau.
14 (iv) Any reference to a "city or town", "city or town boundaries", or "city or town limits"
15 shall refer to the boundaries or limits of the particular city or town as they existed on January 1,
16 2000.
17 (v) In the census tract and block listing, the first two (2) digits of a census description
18 shall refer to the state of Rhode Island (44), the next three (3) digits of a census description shall
19 refer to the county in which the district lies. Bristol county carries the code 001; Kent county
20 carries the code 003; Newport county carries the code 005; Providence county carries the code
21 007 and Washington county carries the code 009. The next six (6) digits refer to the census tract
22 within the county set forth in the description. The last four (4) digits refer to the census block
23 within the census tract. "TIGER" is an acronym for the computer readable geographic data base
24 that automates the mapping and related geographic activities required to support the United
25 States' Census Bureau's census and survey programs and stands for "Topologically Integrated
26 Geographic Encoding and Referencing."
27 (vi) If any census tract, block, block group, or enumeration district is omitted, listed
28 more than once, or is only partially provided for, it is intended that the districts be defined in such
29 a manner as to not omit any area of Rhode Island from a district and to comply with the standard
30 of Articles VII and VIII of the Rhode Island Constitution requiring that districts be reasonably
31 equal. In order to carry out the intent of the general assembly as expressed in this section the
32 secretary of state, shall if necessary, undertake measures to insure compliance with this section.
33 (vii) In the event of a discrepancy between the metes and bounds description, the
34 description of census tracts and blocks, and the maps which shall be on file with the secretary of
2 1 state, then the listing of census tracts and blocks shall take precedence and be controlling.
