Bill Summary
As introduced, deletes the requirement that, beginning in 2028, the funding for each judicial district that has a disproportionately high number of judges, as determined by the comptroller, be reduced by 10 percent during the subsequent fiscal year if the legislature has not passed legislation reapportioning the judicial districts. - Amends TCA Title 16, Chapter 2, Part 5.
AI Summary
This bill removes a provision that would have required judicial districts with a disproportionately high number of judges, as determined by the comptroller (the state's chief financial officer), to have their funding reduced by 10 percent starting in 2028 if the legislature had not passed new laws to redistribute or reapportion these judicial districts. In simpler terms, it eliminates a penalty that was designed to encourage the legislature to adjust the number of judges in different areas of the state if some areas had significantly more judges than others.
