The state House today passed a measure that would give Williamson County its own judicial district, the Nashville Post reports. The legislation, which would split Williamson from Hickman, Perry and Lewis counties in the state judicial system, failed in the House last year, but the $1.4 million needed for this move was included in Gov. Bill Lee's budget proposal. Williamson County would join Shelby, Davidson, Sullivan, Blount, Knox, Anderson, Hamilton, Coffee and Sumner counties as the only counties with their own judicial districts.
