HB 1640 -- MUNICIPAL COURT JUDGES (Roorda)

COMMITTEE OF ORIGIN:  Committee on Judiciary

This bill allows a municipal court judge to appoint an acting
county municipal court judge on a temporary basis if the judge
becomes temporarily ill or otherwise unavailable.  The person
appointed must be currently serving as a municipal court judge in
the same judicial circuit.

The bill also changes the provision which prohibits a municipal
court judge from serving as a judge or prosecutor for any other
court to only apply to full-time municipal judges.

FISCAL NOTE:  No impact on state funds in FY 2011, FY 2012, and
FY 2013.
