Bill > S32

This bill, titled the Local Access to Courts Act (or LACA), updates federal law to officially add new locations where federal district courts—which serve as the federal trial courts handling both civil and criminal cases within specific geographic regions—can be held in Texas and California. Specifically, the legislation amends federal judicial boundaries to allow court proceedings to take place in College Station, Texas, and El Centro, California, thereby improving local access to the federal court system for residents in those communities who previously had to travel further to attend court.
