Judgeship transferred to another district

Senators passed a bill March 8 that transfers a county court judgeship to another district.

LB790, introduced by Lincoln Sen. Colby Coash, transfers a judgeship in the 5TH Judicial District County Court—serving Boone, Butler, Colfax, Hamilton, Merrick, Nance, Platte, Polk, Saunders, Seward and York Counties—to the 3RD Judicial District County Court, which is located in Lancaster County.

The bill passed on a 38-8 vote and takes effect immediately.
