Effective January 1, 2026, the territorial limits of the justice of the peace courts and constables in Pointe Coupee Parish shall be the same as the eight parish council districts within the parish. If the council district lines are changed thereafter, the territorial jurisdiction of the justice of the peace courts and constables shall also be changed to coincide with the new council district lines effective at the beginning of the next regular term of office for justices of the peace and constables. However, in the event that the change in council district lines increases or reduces the number of council districts, the territorial jurisdiction of the justice of the peace courts and constables shall not be changed but shall remain the same.
