The Rocky Mountain Judgeship Act would create three new federal district court judgeships: two in Colorado and one in Idaho. These new positions would be filled by judges appointed by the President with Senate approval, bringing Colorado's total judgeships from 7 to 9 and Idaho's from 2 to 3. The bill also expands Colorado's judicial district to include Fort Collins. No specific funding or implementation timeline is specified in the legislation; the bill simply authorizes the creation of these positions, which would be filled through the normal federal judicial appointment process.
