Adds a circuit judge to the 7th judicial circuit
HB 3448 adds one circuit judge position to the seventh judicial circuit in Clay County, increasing the total number of judges from four to five. This change takes effect beginning fiscal year 2028 and adjusts the circuit's staffing structure. The bill does not alter court procedures, legal standards, or affect the public directly; it only modifies the number of judges assigned to handle cases in that specific judicial district. As a procedural staffing adjustment, it has no substantive policy impact beyond administrative resource allocation.
