Provides for the county prosecuting attorney system to be converted to a circuit court district attorney system
SB 742 would reorganize local prosecution by replacing county-level prosecuting attorneys with a unified circuit court district attorney system. This affects counties currently operating under the county prosecuting attorney model, shifting oversight to larger circuit court districts. The key mechanism involves restructuring the office's administrative framework to align with circuit court boundaries rather than county lines. The bill is in early committee review after initial readings, with no voting history yet.
