Generally revise laws applicable to district courts

HB 693 revises state law concerning how multijudge district courts operate. This bill allows judges in judicial districts with more than five judges to create rules for implementing specialized dockets across their court departments. It clarifies the authority of these larger multijudge districts to organize their caseloads into specialized areas. The bill also maintains existing requirements for all multijudge districts to divide into numbered departments and apportion business.
