Montgomery County adds a fifth court division
The law creates a fifth division of Montgomery County’s General Sessions and Juvenile Courts, subject to local approval. The new division has the same court terms, powers, and jurisdiction as the existing courts. Its judge has the same qualifications, powers, jurisdiction, and pay as the other judges. The county legislative body appoints a qualified judge to serve until September 1, 2026, and until an elected successor qualifies. Voters elect a judge in August 2026 for a term ending September 1, 2030. The August 2030 election and later judicial elections fill eight-year terms, with judges serving until successors are elected and qualified. The county commission must provide supplies, furnishings, and a suitable, separate courtroom. The sheriff or a deputy and the clerk or a deputy must attend court sessions. The clerk’s duties expand to cover the new division. The presiding judge rotates among all five divisions every five years, replacing a three-year rotation among three divisions. The law takes effect immediately for local approval or rejection; its other changes require a two-thirds county legislative vote of approval. The county’s presiding officer must announce the decision and certify it to the Secretary of State. The law states no dollar amount for the division’s costs.
