SB 1587 - Currently, Franklin County, located in the 20th Judicial District, has three associate circuit judges per the statutory formula. This act provides for an additional associate circuit judge for Franklin County to be appointed by the Governor until January 1, 2029, and elected thereafter. This act is identical to a provision in SCS/HB 1625 (2026) and is substantially similar to a provision in HCS/SB 945 (2026), in HCS/SB 1067 (2206), HB 2386 (2026), and in HCS/HBs 2968, 2427 & 3086 (2026).
