This bill amends the civil jurisdictional amounts for the First and Second Parish Courts of Jefferson Parish, increasing the limit from twenty thousand dollars to fifty thousand dollars. Specifically, it modifies R.S. 13:2561.2(A) and 2562.2(A) to reflect this new jurisdictional amount, which applies to cases involving disputes or property values, as well as reconventional demands, interventions, or third-party oppositions. The changes ensure that if the amount in dispute exceeds fifty thousand dollars, the case will be transferred to the Twenty-Fourth Judicial District Court.

The bill is set to take effect upon the governor's signature or, if not signed, after the designated period for bills to become law without signature. If the governor vetoes the bill and it is later approved by the legislature, it will become effective the day after such approval.
