HB 110 Engrossed 2022 Regular Session Marcelle
Abstract: Adds domestic violence matters as an assignable subject matter for divisions located in
the 19th Judicial District Court.
Present law provides that the judges of the 19th Judicial District Court, with respect to seniority and
the requirement that all cases be assigned randomly within multi-judge groupings, may assign to a
division criminal matters or civil matters or drug court matters or any or all types of matters of which
the court has jurisdiction by rule adopted by a majority vote of the judges sitting en banc, with the
consent of the judge of a division.
Proposed law retains present law and adds domestic violence matters as an assignable subject matter
for divisions within the 19th Judicial District Court.
