Bill > HB2729

This bill modifies the maximum number of judges in specific judicial districts in Virginia. Specifically, the bill increases the number of general district court judges in the Ninth Judicial District from 3 to 4 and in the Thirty-first Judicial District from 5 to 6. Additionally, the bill increases the number of juvenile and domestic relations district court judges in the Second Judicial District from 6 to 7. These changes are part of a broader statutory framework that sets the maximum number of full-time judges for each judicial district in the state. The purpose of such adjustments is typically to ensure that the judicial system can adequately handle the caseload in districts that may be experiencing increased population, complexity of legal matters, or other factors that necessitate additional judicial resources. The bill incorporates two other house bills (HB 2249 and HB 2361) and is identical to Senate Bill 1327.
