HCS HB 318 -- COUNTY ORDINANCE VIOLATIONS

SPONSOR:  Byrd (Baker)

COMMITTEE ACTION:  Voted "do pass by consent" by the Committee on
Judiciary by a vote of 18 to 0.

This substitute allows the County Commission of Cass County to
elect to have county traffic ordinance violations heard by an
associate circuit judge of the county.

FISCAL NOTE:  No impact on state funds.

PROPONENTS:  Supporters say that the substitute is necessary
because there has been some confusion on court jurisdiction in
certain types of cases.

Testifying for the bill were Representatives Baker and Davis
(122).

OPPOSITION:  There was no opposition voiced to the committee.
