Relates to the mandatory retirement age of judges and justices

This bill proposes to amend the state constitution to set a mandatory retirement age of 76 for all judges and justices. Under the new rules, these officials would be required to retire by the end of December in the year they turn 76, though they could later return to active duty for up to two additional years if certified as mentally and physically capable. The legislation also clarifies that retired judges cannot be counted when determining the number of justices needed in a judicial district. Finally, the bill outlines specific procedures for publishing the amendment and scheduling a public vote on the issue.
