Repeals a provision regarding sessions of county municipal court
HB 1481 repeals a requirement that counties with a charter government and a population between 600,000 and 700,000 must hold regular county municipal court sessions in the evening after 6:00 p.m. and at locations outside the county seat. This change directly affects those specific counties by removing a mandatory scheduling rule. The bill replaces the repealed section with a new provision that does not include this requirement, allowing counties greater flexibility in organizing court sessions. Other aspects of county municipal courts, such as jurisdiction, judge qualifications, and case procedures, remain unchanged under the new law.
