Modify Emergency Judge Provisions.

Summary

The bill rewrites the law on emergency judges, letting retired district, superior and special‑superior court judges be assigned for additional reasons such as court coverage gaps, conflicts or educational duties. It caps the number of active emergency judges at 10 for superior courts and 25 for district courts, with unlimited inactive lists. It also earmarks $500,000 in non‑recurring funds for the 2026‑27 fiscal year to pay those judges.
