5 SECTION 2 Section 22-1-2 of the General Laws in Chapter 22-1 entitled "Composition
6 of Senate" is hereby amended to read as follows:
7 22-1-2. Districts. -- The state is hereby divided into thirty-eight (38) senatorial districts
8 bounded and described as 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.
20 (3) (i) It is further understood and intended that for the purpose of this section, the
21 districts will be depicted on thirty-nine (39) maps, compiled by Election Data Services, Inc. for
22 each city and town, and hereinafter may be referred to as town maps.
23 (ii) The secretary of state shall keep a copy of each set of the foregoing maps and a copy
24 of the census tract and block listing available for inspection during ordinary business hours at his
25 or her office. The secretary of state shall furnish each city and town a copy of the town map
26 covering that particular city or town within ten (10) days from the passage of this act. [February
27 20, 2002].
28 (iii) For purposes of this title, references to "tract" or "CT" shall mean "census tract", as
29 that demographic unit is established by the United States Bureau of the Census for the 2000
30 census as described by maps and publications of the bureau. References to "block", "blocks",
31 "block groups", "enumeration district", or "enumeration districts", refer to those demographic
32 units as established by the United States Census Bureau for the 2000 census as described by maps
33 and publications of the bureau.
34 (iv) Any reference to a "city or town", "city or town boundaries", or "city or town limits"
2 1 shall refer to the boundaries or limits of the particular city or town as they existed on January 1,
2 2000.
3 (v) In the census tract and block listing, the first two (2) digits of a census description
4 shall refer to the state of Rhode Island (44), the next three (3) digits of a census description shall
5 refer to the county in which the district lies. Bristol county carries the code 001; Kent county
6 carries the code 003; Newport county carries the code 005; Providence county carries the code
7 007 and Washington county carries the code 009. The next six (6) digits refer to the census tract
8 within the county set forth in the description. The last four (4) digits refer to the census block
9 within the census tract. "TIGER" is an acronym for the computer readable geographic data base
10 that automates the mapping and related geographic activities required to support the United
11 States' Census Bureau's census and survey programs and stands for "Topologically Integrated
12 Geographic Encoding and Referencing."
13 (vi) If any census tract, block, block group, or enumeration district is omitted, listed
14 more than once, or is only partially provided for, it is intended that the districts be defined in such
15 a manner as to not omit any area of Rhode Island from a district and to comply with the standard
16 of Articles VII and VIII of the Rhode Island Constitution requiring that districts be reasonably
17 equal. In order to carry out the intent of the general assembly as expressed in this section the
18 secretary of state, shall if necessary, undertake measures to insure compliance with this section.
19 (vii) In the event of a discrepancy between the metes and bounds description, the
20 description of census tracts and blocks, and the maps which shall be on file with the secretary of
21 state, then the listing of census tracts and blocks shall take precedence and be controlling.

11 imposed upon the president of the town council or local board or town clerk, town sergeant or

20 of a senator from a senatorial district, as the context may require.
21 SECTION 6. This act shall be liberally construed to effectuate the purposes thereof and
22 to apportion the state into senatorial districts in compliance with the requirements of the United
23 States Constitution. It is intended that the senatorial districts described herein completely
24 encompass all the area within the state and contain all the population residing in the state. It is
25 further intended that the apportionment and districting provided for in this act results in the
26 creation of districts containing substantially equal population. It is also intended that no senatorial
27 district shall include any of the area included within the description of any other senatorial
28 district. If the districts described in this act do not carry out the purposes thereof because of patent
29 unintentional omissions, duplications, overlapping area, erroneous nomenclature, faulty
30 description of boundary lines, street closings, changes in names of streets or of public places,
31 alteration of the courses of rivers or streams, the filling in of lands under water or changes in
32 shorelines due to accretion, the secretary of state is hereby authorized and empowered to correct
33 such omissions, overlaps, erroneous nomenclature, or other defects in the description of districts
34 so as to accomplish the purposes and objectives of this act. In making such corrections, the
35 1 secretary of state shall be guided by the following standards:
2 (1) gaps in the description of any district shall be completed in a manner which results in
3 a total description of the district in manner consonant with the description of adjacent districts;
4 (2) areas included within the descriptions of more than one (1) district shall be allocated
5 to the district having the lowest population;
6 (3) areas not included within the descriptions of any district shall be allocated to the
7 adjacent district having the lowest population.
8 SECTION 7. This act shall take effect upon passage; provided, however that the
9 provisions hereof shall first be effective in connection with elections to be held on or subsequent
10 to the first day of September, 2004, and for the purpose of greater clarity, the first election under
11 the provisions of this act for senator from each of the twelve (12) senatorial districts hereby
12 revised shall be held on the Tuesday next after the first Monday in November, 2004, and the first
13 primary election under the provisions of this act for nomination of candidates for senator from
14 each of said senatorial districts shall be held on the second Tuesday after the first Monday in
15 September, 2004; provided, however, that if any provision of this act or the application of such
16 provision to any person or under any circumstances shall be held unconstitutional or otherwise
17 invalid or inoperative by a decision of any court of competent jurisdiction, or if any action
18 performed or to be performed under any provision of this act is restrained or enjoined by any
19 court of competent jurisdiction, the remaining provisions of this act shall not be deemed to be
20 impaired or affected thereby but shall be deemed to remain in full force and effect. Any primary
21 or special election held prior to the first day of September, 2004, shall be conducted under the
22 laws as they existed prior to the passage of this act.
