Bill Summary

A BILL To clarify where court may be held for certain district courts in Texas and California.

AI Summary

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. In Texas, the bill amends Section 124(b)(2) of Title 28 of the United States Code to add College Station as an additional location for the district court. Similarly, for California, the bill amends Section 84(d) of the same title to include El Centro as another location where the district court can be held, in addition to the existing San Diego location. These changes appear to be aimed at improving local access to federal court facilities by expanding the potential venues where legal proceedings can take place in these two states. The bill is straightforward and focused solely on these two specific geographical additions to existing court venue provisions.
