House Bill No. by Representative Wilder amends the Children's Code Article 302(1) to grant exclusive original juvenile jurisdiction to the special juvenile court in Livingston Parish. This change adds Livingston Parish to the list of parishes—Caddo, Orleans, Jefferson, and East Baton Rouge—where special juvenile courts have this exclusive jurisdiction. The bill aims to ensure that juvenile cases in Livingston Parish are handled by a dedicated court, similar to those in the other specified parishes.

The bill specifically deletes the conjunction "and" from the list of parishes currently recognized for exclusive juvenile jurisdiction and inserts "Livingston" to include it in that jurisdiction. This legislative change is intended to enhance the judicial process for juveniles in Livingston Parish by providing a specialized court to address their cases.
