TIGER/Line Shapefile, 2014, Series Information File for the Current State Legislative District (SLD) Upper Chamber State-based Shapefile
State Legislative Districts (SLDs) are the areas from which members are elected to State legislatures. The SLDs embody the upper
(senate) and lower (house) chambers of the state legislature. Nebraska has a unicameral legislature and the District of Columbia has a single council,
both of which the Census Bureau treats as upper-chamber legislative areas for the purpose of data presentation; there are no data by SLDL for either
Nebraska or the District of Columbia. A unique three-character census code, identified by State participants, is assigned to each SLD within a state.
In Connecticut, Illinois, Louisiana, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Ohio, and Puerto Rico, the Redistricting Data Program (RDP) participant
did not define the SLDs to cover all of the state or state equivalent area. In these areas with no SLDs defined, the code "ZZZ" has been assigned, which
is treated as a single SLD for purposes of data presentation. The boundaries of the 2014 State legislative districts were provided by state-level
participants through the RDP and reflect the districts used to elect members in or prior to the November 2014 election.
