To amend title 28, United States Code, to provide an additional place for holding court for the Western District of Washington, and for other purposes.
This bill adds Mount Vernon, Washington, as an additional location for holding federal court sessions in the Western District of Washington. It amends existing law to insert "Mount Vernon" after "Tacoma" in the list of places where court can be held. The change directly affects the operational structure of the Western District federal court system, allowing cases to be heard in Mount Vernon alongside existing locations. This is a procedural adjustment to court locations with no direct impact on citizens' rights or obligations.
