COURTS/CITY: Provides relative to the marshal of the city court of Lake Charles
HB 134 is a procedural bill that corrects a reference in Louisiana law. It amends a statute (changing "R.S. 13:1704" to "R.S. 13:5807") related to the marshal position in the Lake Charles city court. The bill does not change court operations or create new requirements; it only updates the legal citation for clarity. This technical correction directly affects the Lake Charles city court marshal's statutory reference.
