TOPEKA (AP) – A Kansas House committee has approved a congressional redistricting bill that splits Topeka between two U.S. House districts.

The measure approved Monday by the Redistricting Committee would move part of Topeka to the 1st Congressional District with western and central Kansas and leave the rest in the 2nd District of eastern Kansas.

The bill now goes to the full Kansas House.

Topeka lawmakers opposed the plan, but the committee voted 12-11 for it. House Speaker Mike O’Neal, a Hutchinson Republican who serves as the committee’s chairman, broke a tie among its other members.

Lawmakers must redraw the state’s four congressional districts to account for changes in population over the past decade. The 1st District which includes Hutchinson is nearly 58,000 residents short of the ideal population of about 713,000.
