Bill Summary
RELATING TO JUDICIAL DISTRICTS; AMENDING SECTION 1-808, IDAHO CODE, TO RE- VISE PROVISIONS REGARDING THE NUM
AI Summary
This bill amends Section 1-808 of Idaho Code to increase the number of district judges in the Seventh Judicial District from six to seven, with a corresponding adjustment to the number of resident chambers in Bonneville County. Specifically, the bill expands the number of resident chambers in Bonneville County from three to four, while maintaining existing resident chambers in Madison County (1), Bingham County (1), and Jefferson County (1). The Seventh Judicial District encompasses ten counties: Lemhi, Custer, Butte, Clark, Fremont, Jefferson, Madison, Teton, Bonneville, and Bingham. The bill includes an emergency clause, indicating it will take effect on July 1, 2025, which suggests an urgent need to address judicial capacity in this district, likely due to increased caseloads or population growth in the area.
