Bill Summary
Create a new section of KRS Chapter 26A to allow appointment of a special judge in certain civil actions.
AI Summary
This bill proposes several amendments to Kentucky's civil procedure laws. It allows parties in a civil action against state officials or entities to remove the case to a different county's circuit court, subject to certain requirements. It also provides that in such transferred cases, the judge may hold hearings and the trial in the original county, considering the convenience of the court, parties, attorneys, and witnesses. Additionally, the bill requires the Secretary of State to be named as a defendant in any action challenging the constitutionality of legislative districts, and allows the Legislative Research Commission to intervene in such cases.
