Summary

This bill proposes to amend title 28, United States Code , specifically Section 98, to redefine the composition of federal judicial districts in Louisiana. It explicitly reconfigures the parishes included within the Middle District and the Western District of Louisiana. The Middle District will now comprise eight specific parishes, removing West Feliciana parish from its jurisdiction. Concurrently, the Western District will encompass a significantly larger number of parishes, including the addition of West Feliciana, East Carroll, and West Carroll parishes. A crucial provision states that these boundary changes will not affect any legal actions that were commenced or were already pending in any Louisiana judicial district prior to the bill's enactment date, ensuring continuity for ongoing cases.
