This bill, the "Local Access to Courts Act" (LACA), amends two sections of title 28 of the U.S. Code that list places where certain federal district courts may be held. It adds the city "College Station" to the list in 28 U.S.C. section 124(b)(2) and adds "El Centro" after "at San Diego" in 28 U.S.C. section 84(d). The change is limited to naming those locations as places where court may be held.
If you live in or near College Station or El Centro, this bill makes those cities official locations where sessions of the federal district courts named in the statute may be held. The bill does not change what courts can decide or how they operate; it only specifies additional places where court proceedings may occur.
