The bill amends the Code of Civil Procedure to adjust the jurisdictional limits of city courts in Louisiana, specifically addressing the City Court of Hammond. It establishes that the civil jurisdiction of the City Court of Hammond is now concurrent with the district court for cases where the amount in dispute does not exceed fifty thousand dollars. This change aligns Hammond's jurisdictional limits with those of other specified city courts, enhancing access to civil justice for residents.

Additionally, the bill removes the City Court of Hammond from a previous list of courts with a lower jurisdictional limit of thirty thousand dollars. This deletion reflects the legislative intent to elevate Hammond's civil jurisdiction, thereby allowing for a broader range of cases to be heard at the city court level, which can lead to more efficient resolution of disputes within the community.
