Courts, appointment, support, and powers of visiting judges provided for

This bill establishes a formal process for appointing visiting judges in Alabama courts to handle specific violent crime cases. The Chief Justice of the Alabama Supreme Court may appoint sitting or retired judges upon request from prosecutors, after reviewing case details and reasons for the need. Visiting judges gain full judicial authority for their assigned cases, receive expense reimbursement through a new Speedy Trial Fund, and must use available courtroom resources and jury schedules to expedite proceedings. It directly affects prosecutors, courts handling violent crimes (as defined in existing law), and county court operations.
