Bill > HR1727

This bill proposes to increase the number of federal district court judges in Colorado and Idaho to help manage the judicial workload in those states. Specifically, the bill authorizes the President to appoint two additional district judges for Colorado and one additional district judge for Idaho, with these appointments subject to Senate confirmation. The bill also makes technical amendments to the United States Code, updating the number of authorized judgeships for these districts (changing Colorado from 7 to 9 judges and Idaho from 2 to 3 judges). Additionally, the bill expands the federal judicial district in Colorado by adding Fort Collins as a location where federal district court can be held, alongside the existing locations. The purpose of these changes is likely to address increasing case volumes and reduce court backlogs in these Rocky Mountain states, ensuring more efficient administration of justice by providing more judicial resources to handle legal proceedings.
