District judge positions-authorization and funding.
This bill authorizes additional district court judges in Wyoming's 3rd, 6th, and 7th judicial districts. It provides $1.1176 million for the 3rd and 7th districts (2022-2024 biennium) to cover salaries, equipment, and facilities for new judges, including courtrooms for 12-person juries. The 6th district's additional judge position requires prior certification of completed facilities and legislative action. These changes directly affect court operations in Sweetwater County (3rd district), the 7th district, and the 6th district once conditions are met. The bill focuses on staffing and resource allocation for district courts, not substantive legal changes.
