Republican legislative leaders said they have agreed to and will submit a proposed corrective map of the state's 18 Congressional districts to Gov. Tom Wolf later today.

The state Supreme Court last month ordered a revised map for the upcoming 2018 elections after finding the current map - drawn in 2011 - had a pro-Republican slant that violates the Pennsylvania Constitution's guarantee of "free and equal" elections.

It has given the legislature and the governor until Feb. 15 to "enact" a new plan. If they are unable to do that, a four-judge majority on the court has ruled, the court will impose its own corrective plan.

In joint statement issued shortly after 5 p.m., Senate President Pro Tempore Joe Scarnati and House Speaker Mike Turzai said they have agreed to a map "that complies fully with the Pennsylvania Supreme Court's order and opinion.

"We will be submitting our map to the governor this evening."

Wolf now has several options:

He could accept the proposal and signal to the court that he supports the proferred plan.

He could try to seek further changes in negotiations with the legislative leaders.

He could submit a completely different map to the court.

The legislative proposal has not been shared publicly so far.

It was also not immediately clear if the leaders intend to call the state House and Senate back into session next week to formally ratify the new congressional lines as state law.
