COURTS: Provides relative to the election sections for judgeship of the second district of the First Circuit Court of Appeal (OR +$284,457 GF EX See Note)

HB 443 reorganizes the election structure for judges in Louisiana's First Circuit Court of Appeal's Second District (which covers East Baton Rouge Parish) by dividing the parish into two election sections. It specifies how judges are elected from each section (e.g., two judges from Section One, two from Section Two) and clarifies that judges must reside in the Second District but not necessarily in the specific election section they represent. The bill does not change substantive judicial qualifications or court functions, only the geographic boundaries used for selecting judges. This procedural change affects how judges are chosen for the Second District of the First Circuit Court of Appeal.
