Committee advances cleanup bill to remove dormant court from rotation
Summary
Senator Murdoch presented House Bill 1165 as a cleanup request from courts to remove a city’s administrative court from the rotation because it has been dormant for about 15 years; the committee moved to pass the bill and approved it by voice vote.
Senator Murdoch presented House Bill 1165 to the Senate Judiciary Committee as a housekeeping measure requested by administrative boards and the administrative office of the courts. Murdoch described it as "a little cleanup bill" to remove a city from the administrative- court rotation because the court has been dormant for roughly 15 years.
Murdoch said the change would prevent district judges from facing a monthly rotation issue tied to a jurisdiction that no longer maintains an active administrative court. A member asked whether the Administrative Office of the Courts (AOC) was present; Murdoch said the request came from the administrative boards. The committee moved to pass the bill and the chair called for a voice vote; members answered "aye" and the bill was recorded as passed in the meeting transcript.
The transcript does not record a roll-call tally or further amendments. No additional implementation steps were discussed on the record during this meeting.
