PAG LIN
  1  1    Section 1.  Section 364.22, subsection 5, paragraph a, Code
  1  2 1995, is amended to read as follows:
  1  3    a.  The matter shall be tried before a magistrate, a
  1  4 district associate judge, or a district judge in district
  1  5 court if the total amount of civil penalties does not exceed
  1  6 two thousand dollars in the same manner as a small claim.  The
  1  7 matter shall only be tried before a judge in district court if
  1  8 the total amount of civil penalties assessed exceeds two
  1  9 thousand dollars the jurisdictional amount for small claims
  1 10 set forth in section 631.1.  
  1 11                           EXPLANATION
  1 12    This bill amends the jurisdictional amount for municipal
  1 13 infractions heard in the manner of small claims by magistrates
  1 14 and judges in order to make it consistent with the current
  1 15 jurisdictional amount for small claims actions of $4,000.
  1 16 Civil penalties assessed above that amount would be heard by a
  1 17 judge in district court.  The change will also now permit
  1 18 automatic adjustment of the municipal infraction
  1 19 jurisdictional amount each time the jurisdictional amount for
  1 20 small claims actions in section 631.1 is adjusted.
