Judiciary; extend repealer on statute requiring appointment of 4 temporary special circuit judges in the 7th Circuit Court District.
HB 716 extends the deadline for repealing a law requiring four temporary special judges in Mississippi's 7th Circuit Court District. The bill delays the expiration date of the statute (currently set for December 31, 2029) and the terms of the temporary judges to a later date. This procedural change directly affects the 7th Circuit Court District's operations by maintaining the current temporary judge appointments beyond the original deadline. The bill does not alter judicial duties, compensation, or court structure.
