COURTS: Provides relative to election sections for judgeship of the family court for East Baton Rouge Parish (OR +$284,457 SG EX See Note)

HB 442 reorganizes the election structure for family court judges in East Baton Rouge Parish by dividing the parish into three distinct election sections. Each section will elect judges: one judge from Section One, one from Section Two, and two from Section Three, based on specific precinct assignments detailed in the bill. The bill uses updated precinct boundaries from the 2020 Census-based map (modified through 2026), directly affecting voters in those precincts and determining how family court judges are elected locally.
