Bill > HB262

This bill increases the number of superior court judges in Alaska's third judicial district by one, bringing the total number of judges in that district to 29, and consequently increasing the overall number of superior court judges statewide from 45 to 46. The bill specifies the number of judges for each of Alaska's four judicial districts and mandates that the judicial council will designate the district where a new judge will reside and serve when submitting nominees. This change is set to take effect on July 1, 2026.
