What changed in the latest version
106 added · 110 removedPlain-language change summary
In the latest version of House Bill 2595, the section regarding the "change of judge" has been updated to consolidate its rules. Specifically, the bill now references new sections (12-412, 12-413, and 12-414) instead of the previously existing section (12-409), which has been repealed. This change is important because it streamlines the process for requesting a change of judge and ensures that the grounds for doing so are clearly defined in the revised statutes, ultimately aiming to enhance fairness in court proceedings.
