Under existing law, the circuit courts of this state have jurisdiction over equitable matters.
This bill would propose an amendment to the Constitution of Alabama of 1901, which would allow the Judge of Probate of Houston County to exercise equity jurisdiction concurrent with that of the circuit court in cases originally filed in the Probate Court of Houston County if the judge of probate is licensed to practice law in the State of Alabama.
