Specialty‑court technical changes win committee approval
Summary
Rep. Carol Dolby and Judge Robert Hirschfeld told the committee HB 18 35 mostly makes technical changes — moving record‑sealing provisions, adding three district judges to the advisory committee, and clarifying contract authority — and the committee approved it.
Representative Carol Dolby, the sponsor, said HB 18 35 moves a record‑sealing statute for specialty courts into a stand‑alone section, adds three district judges to the specialty court advisory committee and makes technical corrections to allow part‑time attorneys to participate in contracts related to specialty court programs. Judge Robert Hirschfeld, who has a heavy probate docket, said the updates bring code into alignment with practice and would not require funding.
No one testified against the bill and the committee voted a do‑pass on the measure.
