Proposal for a legislative amendment to the Constitution relative to changing the mandatory age of retirement for judges

HD 1744 proposes amending the state constitution to increase the mandatory retirement age for judges from 70 to 75. This change would directly affect current and future judges in the Commonwealth, requiring them to serve until age 75 instead of retiring at 70. The bill specifically modifies Article I of Chapter III of Part the Second of the Constitution by replacing "seventy" with "75" in the retirement age provision. As a constitutional amendment, this change would require voter approval to take effect.
