Renames the supreme court the superior court and the court of appeals the supreme court
This bill proposes to rename the state's supreme court to the superior court and the court of appeals to the supreme court. The changes are made through amendments to the state constitution that update references to these courts in sections regarding judicial review, the unified court system, and the composition of the highest appellate court. By altering these constitutional titles, the legislation ensures that all legal documents and procedures consistently refer to the courts by their new names without changing their powers or functions. The bill requires approval from both the Assembly and the Senate to become effective.
