Bill addresses judicial efficiency in western counties Sen. Kevin Corbin
A House bill proposed by Western North Carolina reps. Mike Clampitt, R-Bryson City, and Mark Pless, R-Haywood, includes significant changes to a judicial district that is larger than the states of Delaware and Rhode Island combined.
“Population for this area is growing exponentially, the number of cases are growing exponentially. Dockets get to be so long and there’s so many court cases,” said Clampitt of H405 , which was filed in the House with Clampitt and Pless as primary sponsors on March 24.
The bill would amend NCGS 7A-41 and move Swain County from Superior Court District 30A, which also includes Cherokee, Clay, Graham and Macon counties, to district 30B, which is currently comprised of Haywood and Jackson counties. Each district is assigned one resident Superior Court judge.
