The General Assembly finds that:
(1)
The goal expressed by Arkansas citizens with the adoption of Amendment 80 to the Arkansas Constitution was the creation of a three-tiered, unified court system;
(2)
The current structure of limited jurisdiction courts consists of a combination of full-time and part-time district and city court judges funded by city and county governments;
(3)
Based on availability of local resources, the cumulative effect of the creation and funding of those courts by local governments has been an unequal level of access to and an inequitable distribution of judicial services to communities;
(4)
While Amendment 80 does not require the state to fund the district court system, there is a state interest in providing a more uniform level of judicial resources to all citizens of the state;
(5)
Because the current system of limited jurisdiction courts is not uniform, it is contrary to the interest of the state to merely shift the funding of the system from local government to state government without addressing the district court system's structure;
(6)
A way of addressing the shortage of resources for circuit courts in some areas of the state is the expansion of the jurisdiction of the district court, which will shift cases from the circuit court to the district court and reduce expenses for the state;
(7)
A state-funded district court system should include an analysis by the state that furthers the goal of a unified and equitable system for the delivery of judicial services; and
(8)
It is the intent of this subchapter to begin that analysis process by establishing a pilot program that creates a limited number of state-funded district court judgeships and a process for the study and consideration of establishing additional district courts in the future.

The District Court Resource Assessment Board shall recommend to the General Assembly at each regular session:
(1)
Criteria for the creation and placement of full-time, state-funded district court judgeships;
(2)
Revisions of current district court judgeships or the redistricting of the district court districts of this state after considering:
(A)
The caseload and the geographic area of the district court district;
(B)
The November 25, 2002, per curiam opinion of the Supreme Court; and

The District Court Resource Assessment Board, created in §

et seq., has studied the effectiveness of the state's creation of pilot district courts and found that they are successful in creating a more uniform and equitable judicial system, reducing the number of district and city court judges, maintaining the level of service to the communities served by district and city courts, allowing the shift of cases from circuit to district courts, decreasing the number of conflicts requiring the appointment of special judges, and improving public access to the court system;
(9)
The state should continue the incremental creation of state district courts served by full-time judges and designate geographic districts that have sufficient caseloads to justify a full-time judge until the system is implemented and operating statewide on January 1, 2017; and
(10)
For purposes of the program, cities and counties should keep one hundred percent (100%) of all their current revenue from fines and costs with the exception of the adjustment from the cost-sharing formula.

(a)
The General Assembly finds that:
(1)
The intent of Amendment 80 to the Arkansas Constitution was to create a unified court system to provide judicial economy and a fair administration of justice;
(2)
The judicial system in this state should be composed of three (3) tiers to accomplish the intent of Amendment 80 to the Arkansas Constitution:
(A)
Appellate courts to be composed of the Supreme Court and the Court of Appeals;
(B)
General jurisdiction trial courts to be composed of the circuit courts; and
(C)
Limited jurisdiction courts to be composed of the district courts;
(3)
The city courts of this state should be consolidated with district courts in order to provide judicial and administrative functions in limited jurisdiction courts that are both necessary and cost-effective; and
(4)
City courts provide a valuable service for the citizens of towns and cities that operate city courts and also revenue for those towns and cities and for this state. However, many towns and cities provide law enforcement officers for the safety of citizens but do not operate a city court.
(b)
It is the intent of the General Assembly that a town or city that has operated a city court is to continue to receive revenue from cases that originate in its town or city limits and to establish a procedure to allow a town or city that has never operated a city court but that now or in the future may have law enforcement officers to be able to receive a portion of the revenue from cases that originate in its town or city limits.
(c)
It is also the intent of the General Assembly that this subchapter will consolidate all limited jurisdiction courts in the state as of January 1, 2012.
(d)
(1)
On January 1, 2012, the district courts shall be regarded as a continuation of the city courts now existing.
(2)
(A)
All papers and records pertaining to the city courts shall be transferred to the appropriate district courts and no suit or prosecution of any kind or nature shall abate because of any change made by this subchapter.
(B)
Except as modified in accordance with this subchapter, any of the following existing on January 1, 2012, shall continue unaffected:
(i)
A writ;
(ii)
An action;
(iii)
A suit;
(iv)
