HB369

Louisiana HB369 revises the election of judges for the first district of the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeal.

Louisiana HB369 amends the election process for judges in the first district of the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeal. It divides the district into three election sections, assigning four judges to the first section, one to the second, and one to the third. The bill specifies that if a vacancy arises in the first section, it will be filled by election from the third section. If no election is scheduled to fill a vacancy in the second section before the statewide elections in 2030, the regular election will be held in the third section.
