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 the City Court of Hammond with other city courts, such as those in Alexandria and Lake Charles, which also have a concurrent jurisdictional limit of fifty thousand dollars.

Additionally, the bill removes the City Court of Hammond from a previous list of courts that had a lower concurrent jurisdictional limit of thirty thousand dollars. This amendment reflects a significant increase in the jurisdictional amount for the City Court of Hammond, allowing it to handle a broader range of civil cases. Overall, the bill aims to streamline the judicial process by clarifying the jurisdictional limits for city courts in Louisiana.
