Bill > HB2249

This bill modifies the maximum number of general district court judges in the Ninth Judicial District, increasing the limit from three to four judges. The bill amends § 16.1-69.6:1 of the Virginia Code, which specifies the maximum number of full-time judges for each judicial district in the state. Specifically, the bill changes the entry for the Ninth Judicial District in a table listing the maximum number of general district court judges, replacing the number "3" with "4". This change allows the Ninth Judicial District to have one additional general district court judge, potentially helping to manage the judicial workload in that district. The bill is a recommendation from the Committee on District Courts and follows the standard legislative process of amending existing law to adjust judicial resources based on the needs of specific judicial districts.
