Ind. Courts - Floyd County caseload bill moves to House
From a press release:
INDIANAPOLIS –Legislation authored by State Senator Connie Sipes (D-New Albany) that would redistribute the Floyd County Circuit Court’s caseload for better court efficiency was approved by a unanimous vote in the Senate.Senate Bill 307 provides that in Floyd County, the Circuit Court have exclusive jurisdiction over probate and trust matters. The bill also states that the Floyd Circuit Court and Floyd Superior Court No. 3 have concurrent juvenile jurisdiction.
The bill permits juvenile cases, which comprise 22 percent of the Circuit Court’s workload, to be shared between the two courts.
“This will allow for greater efficiency in the alignment of our courts,” said Sipes.
The bill will now go to the House of Representatives for further consideration.
