A bill to authorize an additional district judgeship for the district of Idaho.

This bill would authorize one additional federal district judge for the District of Idaho. Specifically, it would require the President to appoint, with the advice and consent of the Senate, one new district judge for Idaho. In addition, the bill would make a technical change to the roster of federal judges by updating the table in 28 U.S.C. § 133(a) to show Idaho with three district judgeships (up from its current total). In effect, Idaho would gain one new active seat on its district court, increasing its total authorized judges from the existing level to three. The bill does not create a new court, but rather expands the number of judgeships within the District of Idaho. The appointment process would follow the standard constitutional pathway: presidential nomination and Senate confirmation. Implementation would require funding for salaries and court operations through the federal judiciary’s budget.
