DIGEST
The digest printed below was prepared by House Legislative Services. It constitutes no part
of the legislative instrument. The keyword, one-liner, abstract, and digest do not constitute
part of the law or proof or indicia of legislative intent. [R.S. 1:13(B) and 24:177(E)]
Alfred Williams HB No. 198
Abstract: Changes the election sections for the City Court of Baton Rouge and provides
that three judges are elected from election section one and two judges are elected
from election section two.
Present law provides for the City Court of Baton Rouge, domiciled in Baton Rouge and
having five city judges and a city constable. Provides that the court is divided into five
divisions, "A", "B", "C", "D", and "E" and its territorial jurisdiction shall extend throughout
the territorial area of the city of Baton Rouge as extended from time to time. Provides for
the purpose of electing judges, the court is divided into two election sections and that two
judges (divisions "B" and "D") are elected in election section one and three judges (divisions
"A", "C", and "E") are elected in election section two.
Proposed law changes the composition of election section one and election section two.
Further, proposed law provides that three judges shall be elected from election section one
and two judges shall be elected from election section two. Proposed law provides that in
addition to divisions "B" and "D" assigned to election section one for election purposes, the
first vacancy occurring on or after the effective date of proposed law in a judgeship
designated as division "A", "C", or "E" of the city court shall be filled by election from
election section one and thereafter such judgeship shall be assigned to election section one
for election purposes. Provides that if no special election to fill such a vacancy has occurred
or is scheduled to occur prior to the opening of the qualifying period for the regularly
scheduled election to fill judgeships for the city court, then the judgeship designated as
division "E" shall be assigned to election section one for election purposes for such regularly
scheduled election and thereafter. Proposed law specifies that the two remaining judgeships
shall be assigned to election section two for election purposes.
Proposed law specifies that in addition to qualifications provided by law for a judge of the
Baton Rouge City Court, a candidate for a judgeship elected by either election section need
only be a resident of the city of Baton Rouge and that the provisions of proposed law shall
not be construed in any manner to decrease the term of any judge serving on the effective
date of proposed law or to prohibit any judge from seeking reelection in any division of the
court.
Present law allows the metropolitan council for the city of Baton Rouge, parish of East
Baton Rouge, to assign annexations which are approved subsequent to June 15, 1993, to the
appropriate election section. Requires the metropolitan council to submit such assignment
by certified mail or by hand delivery with receipt to the Senate Committee on Senate and
Governmental Affairs and the House Committee on House and Governmental Affairs for
approval. Provides that the committees have 45 days to determine, either jointly or
separately, whether the assignment shall be approved or disapproved. Specifies that if the
time period for action by the committees lapses without action by such committees, the
assignment is deemed approved, and if one or both committees disapprove the assignment,
such assignment is not effective for any purpose. HLS 14RS-595 ORIGINAL
HB NO. 198

CODING: Words in struck through type are deletions from existing law; words underscored
are additions.
Proposed law provides for the assignment of annexations subsequent to May 26, 2010 in
accordance with present law, and otherwise retains present law.
Proposed law specifies that precincts referenced in district descriptions in proposed law are
those contained in the file named "2012 Precinct Shapefiles" published on the La. House of
Representatives website. Specifies that the 2012 Precinct Shapefiles are based upon those
Voting Districts (VTDs) contained in the 2010 Census Redistricting TIGER/Line Shapefiles
for the state of La. as those files have been modified by the staff of the legislature to
represent precinct changes submitted through Aug. 8, 2012, to the legislature by parish
governing authorities pursuant to the provisions of R.S. 18:532 and 532.1.
Proposed law additionally provides that when a precinct is subdivided on a nongeographic
or geographic basis under present law (R.S. 18:532.1), the general precinct designation in
the district description includes all nongeographic and geographic subdivisions of the
precinct within the corporate limits of Baton Rouge, and specifies that the territorial limits
of the election sections as provided in proposed law shall continue in effect without change
regardless of any changes made to the precincts by the parish governing authority.
Specifically excepts changes to the territorial limits made as provided in proposed law
relative to annexations.
Effective upon signature of governor or lapse of time for gubernatorial action.
