What this bill would do
This bill is about changing how the federal judicial districts are set up in Louisiana. It was introduced in the House of Representatives by Ms. Letlow on March 5, 2026. The legislation updates the specific parishes that make up the Middle District and the Western District. It also includes a rule stating that these changes will not apply to any legal actions that are already started or pending before the law is enacted. Ultimately, it simply redefines the boundaries for these courts in the state.
