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. These districts will serve as the election districts for the offices of justice of the peace and constable, with the first district including Precincts 1, 3, 4, 5, 6, and 7, and the subsequent districts covering various combinations of other precincts up to Precinct 32.

The bill also stipulates that individuals elected to these offices during the regularly scheduled election in 2026 will be chosen from the newly defined districts. It references the "2025 Precinct Shapefiles" for the precinct boundaries, which are based on the 2020 Census data and any modifications made through January 16, 2025. The legislation will take effect for the 2026 primary election upon the governor's signature or after the lapse of time for gubernatorial action, while it will be fully effective for all other purposes on January 1, 2027.
