Under current law, an additional circuit judgeship was created in the 29th Judicial Circuit in 1985, by Act 85-546, 1985 Regular Session (Acts 1985, p. 795). The 1985 act has been amended multiple times to delay filling such judgeship. The judgeship is to be filled in 2016 under current law.
This bill would repeal the provision providing for the establishment of an additional circuit judgeship authorized for the 29th Judicial Circuit.
