Queen Anne's County - Circuit Court Judgeships

HB 975 increases the number of resident judges for Queen Anne's County's Circuit Court from one to two. It amends Maryland's judicial code (Section 1-503) to reflect this change, specifically updating the county's listed judgeship count. The bill takes effect July 1, 2025, directly affecting the staffing and capacity of Queen Anne's County's circuit court. This is a procedural adjustment to judicial staffing levels with no new substantive legal provisions.
