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 removes the City Court of Hammond from the list of courts with a concurrent civil jurisdiction limit of thirty thousand dollars and includes it in a new category where the concurrent jurisdiction limit is set at fifty thousand dollars. This change aligns the City Court of Hammond with other city courts, such as those in Alexandria and Lake Charles, which have a higher jurisdictional threshold.

In summary, the bill effectively raises the amount in dispute for civil cases in the City Court of Hammond from thirty thousand dollars to fifty thousand dollars, thereby expanding the court's jurisdictional authority to handle larger civil cases concurrently with district courts. This adjustment aims to enhance the court's capacity to address civil matters within its jurisdiction.
