Senate First Reading
Summary
The bill revises the formula for assigning superior court judges, letting county supervisors petition the governor for extra judges when newer population estimates show growth beyond the 30,000‑person threshold. It requires the governor’s approval and specifies the data sources supervisors must use to prove the need. The change aims to ensure courts keep pace with population changes between censuses.
