Louisiana HB911 reforms and modernizes Orleans Parish's judicial system by consolidating courts and offices.

Louisiana HB911 aims to reform and modernize Orleans Parish's judicial system by consolidating the Civil and Criminal District Courts, the Orleans Parish Juvenile Court, and the First and Second City Courts into the Forty-First Judicial District Court. The bill creates a Consolidated Judicial Expense Fund for these courts, transfers their duties and functions to a single clerk of court, and establishes a Domestic Relations Section within the new court.
