Bill > HB3054

This bill modifies provisions related to the circuit court of Cole County, specifically its appellate district and the venue, or the proper location for a lawsuit to be heard. It adds Cole County to the jurisdiction of the eastern district of the court of appeals, meaning cases from Cole County will now be heard by this appellate court. Furthermore, the bill establishes that any lawsuit concerning a procedural defect in how a bill became law, or the validity of a constitutional provision, state statute, or regulation, must be filed in Cole County. This change aims to centralize legal challenges to the legislative and regulatory process in the state capital.
