; or (B) allow the State the opportunity to develop a remedial districting plan, which shall be approved by the court before taking effect. (c) Adoption of remedial maps Any remedial districting plan shall comply with the requirements of section 3 and 4 and shall not become effective until approved by the court after an evidentiary hearing at which members of the public may appear and present evidence, including expert testimony with respect to the compliance of the remedial plan with all of the provisions of the Act. (d) Remedy pending appeal Notwithstanding the pendency of any appeal of an order finding a violation of section 3 or 4, no stay shall be issued which shall bar the development and adoption of a remedial districting plan, whether developed by the State or by the special master or panel of special masters (as the case may be), pending such appeal. (e) Interim plan In the event that an upcoming Federal election requires an interim districting plan to be used in such election, nothing shall be construed to limit the authority of the court to modify such interim districting plan in the future or shall be interpreted as limiting the right of citizens of the State to obtain other or further relief in connection with the State’s enacted plan. The agreement of a State to interim relief or the adoption by a State of an alternative plan shall not— (1) moot or invalidate a finding that a districting plan is the result of intentional discrimination against voters on the basis of race, ethnicity, or partisan affiliation
