COURTS/COMMISSIONERS: Provides relative to court commissioners of the 19th JDC
HB 409 is a technical amendment to state law governing court commissioners in the 19th Judicial District Court. It updates legal references by adding a new provision and removing an outdated one in the existing code (specifically modifying sections related to commissioner appointments and duties). The bill does not change commissioner responsibilities or create new policies - it only adjusts how these rules are cited in legal documents. This procedural change affects court commissioners within the 19th Judicial District and has no direct impact on the public or other court processes.
