Bill Summary
AN ACT To amend and reenact Code of Civil Procedure Article 4843(G), relative to jurisdictional limits of city courts; to provide with respect to the jurisdictional amount in dispute in the City Court of Bogalusa; and to provide for related matters.
AI Summary
This bill amends a state law concerning the jurisdictional limits of city courts, specifically impacting the City Court of Bogalusa. The key provision is that the City Court of Bogalusa will now have concurrent civil jurisdiction with district courts for cases where the amount in dispute or the value of the property involved does not exceed fifty thousand dollars, meaning it can hear cases up to this monetary limit. This change is part of a broader update to Article 4843(G) of the Code of Civil Procedure, which outlines these jurisdictional amounts for several city courts across Louisiana.
