Covington County, judge of probate authorized to exercise equity jurisdiction under certain conditions, Constitutional Amendment

HB 84 proposes a constitutional amendment to allow Covington County's Judge of Probate to handle certain types of cases (like property disputes or family matters) concurrently with the circuit court, but only if the judge is licensed to practice law in Alabama. This would give the probate judge the same legal authority as a circuit court judge in those cases, treating them identically to circuit court filings. The amendment requires voter approval after legislative passage and would apply specifically to Covington County cases originally filed in probate court. It does not change how other counties or courts operate.
