Dear Judge Schrumpf:

You point us to Act 276 of the 2003 Regular Session of the Louisiana Legislature, which passed through the legislative session as House Bill No. 1128, and you ask three questions about it, as follows:

1. Does this act increase the jurisdictional limit of the City Court of Sulphur to $25,000 in civil matters?

2. Is the act subject to constitutional challenge as a special law that was not advertised here or otherwise?

3. If the answer to the first question is yes, and the second question, no, are there any other steps necessary before this court begins accepting civil actions…
