§ 19-3-44. Alternate court facilities in counties containing two judicial districts.
(1) The board of supervisors of any county in which there are two (2) judicial districts may provide alternate facilities for the courts of one judicial district when the courthouse of such district is in a condition of disrepair due to damage or construction. Such alternate facilities may be located in the other judicial district of the county and may be located in the courthouse of such other judicial district, but nothing contained herein shall be construed to require such facilities to be located in said courthouse if, in the discretion of the board of supervisors, some other location is preferred.
(2) The several courts of any county wherein there are two (2) judicial districts may by order duly entered on the minutes of the court remove the court to the alternate facility provided by the board of supervisors located in the other judicial district when such transfer is required as provided herein and in such event no cause of action shall be defeated, delayed or otherwise impeded based upon a challenge to the jurisdiction of the court or a question of venue which results from such transfer.
(3) The provisions of this section shall be applicable only for such period as the court is prevented from sitting in the proper judicial district due to physical condition of the proper courthouse.
