Nevada AB66 revises provisions for increasing district judges based on population growth.

Nevada AB66 revises provisions relating to district courts by setting a schedule for increasing the number of district judges based on population growth. The bill mandates an increase in district judges in judicial districts with populations of 350,000 or more. It specifies the number of judges for certain districts and outlines the election process for new judges, who will take office on January 4, 2027. The bill also allows for a reduction in the number of judges if the Chief Judge determines that the caseload does not warrant the increase, subject to legislative approval.
