Judges; add to the 7th judicial circuit court district.
HB 893 amends Mississippi law to authorize additional judges for the Seventh Circuit Court District. Currently, the district has eight circuit judges (two elected per subdistrict), but this bill increases that number by adding more judges to the district's authorized staffing. The change directly affects the Seventh Circuit Court District's operations, which covers multiple counties in Mississippi. The bill takes effect July 1, 2025, and modifies Section 9-7-25 of the Mississippi Code.
