Florida Legislature sends Ron DeSantis a proposal to add judges to state courts

Florida Gov. DeSantis To Weigh Adding Judges


A proposal to add nine new judicial positions, more than recommended by the Florida Supreme Court, was among 20 bills that the Legislature formally sent Tuesday [May 7] to Gov. Ron DeSantis.

The proposal (HB 5401) would add a circuit judge position in the 1st Judicial Circuit, which is made up of Escambia, Santa Rosa, Okaloosa, and Walton counties.

The bill also would create a circuit judge position in the 20th Judicial Circuit, which is made up of Charlotte, Collier, Glades, Hendry, and Lee counties.

The bill would also add three county judges in Orange County, two county judges in Hillsborough County, and one county judge each in Columbia and Santa Rosa counties.
