HR 625 United States House · 119th Congress

LACA of 2026

HR 625, titled the Local Access to Courts Act (LACA), is a procedural bill that makes minor technical corrections to the organization of federal district courts. It adds "College Station" to the list of locations for Texas district courts under 28 U.S.C. § 124(b)(2) and inserts "El Centro" after "San Diego" for California district courts under 28 U.S.C. § 84(d). The bill does not create new policies or affect legal rights; it solely updates the official naming of court locations. This change directly affects the administrative designation of federal court districts in Texas and California.
