Judicial Districts - As enacted, creates one additional circuit court in the 23rd judicial district. - Amends TCA Title 16, Chapter 2.

This Tennessee bill creates a new circuit court division, designated as Division IV, within the 23rd judicial district to become effective on September 1, 2024. The law requires the governor to appoint a judge to lead this new division who will serve until September 1, 2026, or until a successor is elected. Following that initial appointment, qualified voters in the 23rd judicial district will elect a judge for an eight-year term starting in August 2026. The legislation amends state statutes to establish this additional court structure and outlines the specific timeline for both the appointment and election processes.
