Bill > S32

This bill, known as the Local Access to Courts Act (LACA), makes specific modifications to the locations where federal district courts can be held in Texas and California. Specifically, the bill amends Title 28 of the United States Code to add two new court locations: College Station, Texas, and El Centro, California. These amendments expand the geographic jurisdictions of the respective district courts, potentially making legal proceedings more accessible to residents in these areas by providing additional venue options for federal court cases. The bill is straightforward in its approach, simply inserting these location names into existing statutory language without making broader changes to court operations or jurisdiction. By adding these specific locations, the bill aims to improve local access to federal court systems in these regions, potentially reducing travel burdens for litigants and making the judicial process more convenient for communities in Texas and California.
