A Democratic-backed redistricting plan is just one step away from legislative approval. But it still lacks the crucial support from Republicans in the Illinois House to clear that final step.

A House committee voted 10-7 Tuesday to move the plan, Senate Joint Resolution Constitutional Amendment 121, to the House floor.

The measure would still let the legislature draw new maps first, but would change the steps in the redistricting process if lawmakers fail to pass a remap plan.
