Summary

The bill reorganizes the First Circuit Court of Appeal into specific districts and election sections, detailing how judges are elected in the second district. It sets precinct boundaries using 2026 shapefiles and removes the requirement that a judge live in the exact election section they represent, only that they reside in the district. The changes take effect once the governor signs the bill or after the default period if not signed.
