House Bill No. 177, introduced by Representative Brown, aims to establish the territorial jurisdiction and election districts for the justice of the peace courts and constables in Iberville Parish. The bill enacts R.S. 13:2623, which delineates the specific precincts that comprise each of the six justice of the peace districts in the parish. The first district includes Precincts 1, 3, 4, 5, 6, and 7, while the second district consists of Precincts 9, 10, 10B, 11, and 12, and so forth for the remaining districts. The bill also specifies that individuals elected to the offices of justice of the peace and constable during the regularly scheduled election in 2026 will be chosen from these defined districts.

Additionally, the bill outlines that the precincts referenced are based on the "2025 Precinct Shapefiles" available on the Louisiana Legislature's website, which are derived from the 2020 Census Redistricting data. It ensures that any subdivisions of precincts by the parish governing authority will still fall under the general precinct designation. The provisions of this act will take effect for the 2026 primary election upon the governor's signature or after the lapse of time for gubernatorial action, while all other provisions will become effective on January 1, 2027.
