Summary

The bill sets procedural safeguards when state or county agencies take actions that change a justice of the peace’s statutory authority, such as suspensions or new obligations. It also limits administrative supervision, mandates reporting of such orders, and protects counties from unfunded mandates unless funding is provided. The aim is to protect the independence of elected justices and shield county budgets.
