A. All cases pending in the criminal district court shall be allotted equally among Sections A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H, I, J, K, and L of the court. Except on Sundays, legal holidays, and legal half-holidays, the allotment of cases shall be made public by classes daily at noon by the clerk or a deputy clerk selected by him, in the presence of the district attorney. The fact the accused was committed for trial at a preliminary examination shall not be grounds for the recusation of the trial judge who held the preliminary examination.
B. The judges of the criminal district court, by rule adopted by a majority vote of the judges sitting en banc, may assign a certain division of the court as a reentry division of court. The division shall establish a workforce development sentencing project pilot program. The program shall establish guidelines for the issuance of sentences providing inmate rehabilitation and workforce development. The division of court and sentencing project shall work in conjunction with the Louisiana Workforce Investment Council and all efforts shall be coordinated and consistent with the provisions of R.S. 23:1 et seq.
