COURTS: Provides relative to the subject matter jurisdiction of the Twenty-Third Judicial District
HB 567 limits the Twenty-Third Judicial District Court's Division F to handle only "family matters" starting August 1, 2026, including cases like child custody, domestic abuse, divorce, and child support enforcement. It defines "family matters" to cover specific areas under Louisiana law, such as adoptions, domestic violence cases, and support collections. Other divisions of the same court retain full jurisdiction over family matters and will handle cases from Division F if a judge recuses or is unavailable. This bill adjusts court structure without creating new laws for citizens, focusing solely on judicial district organization.
