COURTS-TECH
This bill makes a minor technical correction to the Judicial Circuits Apportionment Act of 2005 by updating its short title. The change directly affects the official naming convention used for this existing law governing how judicial districts are divided. No new powers, funding, or operational rules are added; the amendment simply clarifies the law's name for future reference. The update became effective on January 1, 2025.
