REAPPORTIONMENT/JUDGES: Provides for the election of judges of the first district of the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeal
This bill amends the text of House Bill 926 to explicitly identify it as the legislation originating the election of judges for the first district of the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeal. It serves as a procedural amendment rather than creating new policy, directly affecting the legislative process by clarifying the bill's source within the 2024 Regular Session. The change ensures the document correctly attributes the proposal to its specific legislative session and bill number.
