Resolutions requesting the Governor to remove First Justice Patricia A. Gorman from the Norfolk County Probate and Family Court

This bill is a formal request asking the Governor to remove First Justice Patricia A. Gorman from her position on the Norfolk County Probate and Family Court. The legislation cites a specific section of the state constitution as the legal basis for this removal request. It does not create new laws or change court procedures but instead serves as a petition to the executive branch to take action against a specific judicial official. The measure is sponsored by Representative Jay D. Livingstone on behalf of a group of citizens who filed the petition.
