Lauderdale County - Subject to local approval, provides for the orderly transfer of the Probate and Juvenile Court in Lauderdale County from the County Courthouse to the Justice Complex. - Amends Chapter 262 of the Private Acts of 1963; as amended.
HB 1423 requires Lauderdale County to relocate its Probate and Juvenile Courts to the Justice Complex, including all staff, records, and operations. It dissolves these courts upon the current judge’s term ending, transferring probate matters to Chancery Court and juvenile matters to General Sessions Court. The bill mandates county legislative approval (a two-thirds vote) before taking effect. This directly affects Lauderdale County residents who use these courts and changes how local court services are administered. The law became effective after Governor approval on May 21, 2025.
