Amends Mobile County probate court procedures for appointing temporary judges of probate.
The bill amends the Code of Alabama to revise the procedures for appointing temporary judges of probate in Mobile County. It specifies that the regularly elected judge of probate may appoint temporary judges when necessary due to calendar congestion or complexity of issues. Temporary judges will have the same jurisdiction and authority as the elected judge, and their judgments will be recorded and have the same force and effect. The elected judge and their surety are not responsible for the actions of temporary judges.
