Bill > HR88

This bill, the Judicial Administration and Improvement Act of 2023, amends Title 28 of the United States Code to divide the existing Ninth Judicial Circuit into two separate circuits - the new Ninth Circuit, covering California, Hawaii, Oregon, Washington, Guam, and the Northern Mariana Islands, and the newly created Twelfth Circuit, covering Alaska, Arizona, Idaho, Montana, and Nevada. The bill establishes the composition and number of circuit judges for each of the new circuits, designates the places of circuit court, and outlines the process for assigning and electing circuit judges to the new circuits. The bill also addresses the transition of cases and administrative matters as the changes are implemented, and authorizes the necessary appropriations to carry out the reorganization.
