A Joint Resolution proposing separate and distinct amendments to the Constitution of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, further providing for ineligibility by criminal convictions, for qualifications of Governor, Lieutenant Governor and Attorney General and for qualifications of justices, judges and justices of the peace; providing for ineligibility of civil officers; and imposing a duty on the General Assembly.

This bill proposes constitutional amendments to Pennsylvania that would disqualify individuals convicted of specific crimes from holding public office. It bars anyone sentenced for embezzlement, bribery, perjury, or abusing a family member from serving as a state legislator, governor, lieutenant governor, attorney general, judge, or justice of the peace. The legislation also requires the attorney general to be a member of the state bar and mandates that judges complete specific training or pass an exam. These changes would be presented to voters as separate ballot questions at the next general election.
