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 limit with that of several other city courts, enhancing its capacity to handle civil cases.

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 amendment reflects a significant increase in the financial threshold for civil cases that can be adjudicated in Hammond, thereby streamlining the judicial process for residents seeking resolution in civil matters.
