AN ACT CONCERNING THE COMPOSITION AND OPERATIONAL PROCEDURES OF THE JUDICIAL SELECTION COMMISSION.

HB 6161 revises the makeup and operations of Connecticut's Judicial Selection Commission. It specifies a 12-member commission with eight attorneys and four non-attorneys, limits any single political party to six members, and prohibits current elected or appointed state officials from serving. The bill also requires that candidates for judicial positions be removed from the qualified list after ten years. These changes directly affect how judges are selected for state courts.
