HB 2412 Washington House · 2025-2026 Regular Session

Adding an additional superior court judge in Yakima county.

HB 2412 amends state law to add one additional superior court judge in Yakima County, increasing the total from eight to nine judges. This change directly affects Yakima County's court system by expanding judicial capacity to handle case loads. The bill modifies existing statute (RCW 2.08.063) to update the authorized number of judges for Yakima County. The measure is procedural, adjusting judicial staffing levels without creating new legal requirements.
