Summary

The bill lets the Judicial Council set up a dedicated division in each district court to handle debt‑collection and housing actions and requires state funding and staffing for that division. It also changes how judicial nominating commissions certify candidates, adding extra names when more than one vacancy exists for the same court. The goal is to speed case processing and broaden the pool of qualified judges.
