Bill Summary

A bill to authorize an additional district judgeship for the district of Idaho.

AI Summary

This bill authorizes the creation of one additional district judge position for the District of Idaho. Specifically, the bill directs the President to appoint, with Senate confirmation, a new federal district judge for Idaho. Currently, the District of Idaho has two district judges, and this bill would increase that number to three. The legislation accomplishes this by modifying the existing statutory table in Title 28 of the United States Code that lists the number of judgeships for each federal judicial district. By changing the entry for Idaho from "2" to "3", the bill formally establishes the new judgeship. This type of legislation is typically proposed when a federal judicial district has a growing caseload that requires additional judicial capacity to ensure timely and effective administration of justice.
