Bill > HB0181

This bill adds an additional circuit court judge to the 28th judicial district, which covers Crockett, Gibson, and Haywood counties in Tennessee. Specifically, the bill creates a new circuit court position effective September 1, 2025, with the initial judge to be appointed by the governor and serve until the August 2026 general election. At that election, voters in the 28th judicial district will elect a judge to fill the new position for a term ending September 1, 2030. After this initial term, the judge will be elected to subsequent eight-year terms, following the standard judicial election process. The purpose appears to be to increase judicial capacity in this district, and the bill provides a clear transition plan for establishing and filling the new judicial position.
