Lawmakers say they are working on an agreement involving an impasse on legislation that could lead to changing the Idaho Constitution involving redistricting that Republicans want but Democrats oppose.

Republican Majority Leader Mike Moyle and Democratic Minority Leader Mat Erpelding say there could be an agreement in place by Tuesday, but didn’t elaborate.
The proposed legislation would add a seventh member to a redistricting commission through a proposed constitutional amendment.
