A. The “citizen redistricting committee” is created.

B. The committee is composed of seven members, appointed, with due regard to the cultural and geographic diversity of the state, as follows:

C. No more than three members of the committee shall be members of the same political party. A member of the committee shall not have changed party registration in the two years preceding the member's appointment in such a manner that the member's prior party registration would cause one political party to have more than three members. A member of the committee shall not continue to serve on the committee if the member changes party registration after the date of appointment in such a manner as to cause one political party to have more than three members.

D. Members shall be appointed not later than July 1, 2021, and August 1 of each year ending in the number zero thereafter, and shall serve until a district plan for each of New Mexico's congressional districts, the state house of representatives, the state senate and other state offices requiring redistricting is submitted to the legislature.

E. When any member of the committee dies, resigns or no longer has the qualifications required for the member's original appointment, the member's position on the committee becomes vacant and the chair shall notify the original appointing authority of the vacant position. The vacancy shall be filled by appointment by the original appointing authority no later than fifteen days following notification of the vacancy.

F. The committee shall meet as necessary to carry out its duties pursuant to the Redistricting Act.

G. Members are entitled to receive per diem and mileage as provided in the Per Diem and Mileage Act and shall receive no other compensation, perquisite or allowance.
