Memphis, Tn - The state House of Representatives passed a new version of the State Redistricting Bill after the first one left out a county.

The new bill corrects the omission of Tipton County from the Senate plan.

Senate majority leader Mark Norris says the error was caught before the bill made it to Governor Bill Haslam's desk.

House democrats say the mistake was due to the haste with which the measure was passed in the first place.

The Senate is expected the pass the measure tomorrow.
