An Act increasing the number of superior court judges in the third judicial district; and providing for an effective date.
SB 212 increases the number of superior court judges in Alaska's third judicial district from 28 to 29 by amending the state code. This change directly affects the third judicial district, which covers Anchorage and surrounding areas, by adding one permanent judge position to handle caseloads. The bill requires no new funding or policy shifts - only a structural adjustment to the court's staffing. It will take effect on July 1, 2026, after enactment.
