The Rocky Mountain Judgeship Act seeks to enhance judicial resources by authorizing the appointment of additional district judges for the districts of Colorado and Idaho. Specifically, it mandates the President to appoint two new district judges for Colorado and one new district judge for Idaho, pending Senate advice and consent. These provisions require corresponding updates to title 28, United States Code, to reflect the increased number of authorized judgeships in both states. Additionally, the bill amends the U.S. Code to designate Fort Collins as an authorized location for holding court within the District of Colorado.
