DIVORCE ACTIONS -- Amends existing law to remove a code reference regarding district judges.

DIVORCE ACTIONS

STATEMENT OF PURPOSE

This is one of a series of bills the Supreme Court has recommended in its annual report to the Governor concerning defects or omissions in the laws, as required by article V, section 25 of the Idaho Constitution. The statute pertaining to jurisdiction in divorce proceedings, I.C. § 32-715, applies the powers and jurisdiction of district judges to such proceedings. However, this statute errantly states that a district judge’s powers and jurisdiction are granted by “section 1-901.” I.C. § 1-901 was repealed in 1975, and since there are now several statutory sections relating to a district judge’s powers and jurisdiction, the inaccurate reference to the repealed section (I.C. § 1-901) should be removed.
