HB 2029 Pennsylvania House · 2025-2026 Regular Session

A Joint Resolution proposing integrated amendments to the Constitution of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, further providing for election of justices, judges and justices of the peace and vacancies and for tenure of justices, judges and justices of the peace.

HB 2029 is a joint resolution proposing constitutional amendments to Pennsylvania's election process for judicial positions. It aims to change how justices, judges, and justices of the peace are elected, address vacancy procedures, and define their tenure terms. The bill directly affects judicial officers and voters, as it would alter election rules for these roles and require voter approval for any constitutional changes. If passed by the legislature, it would need to be ratified by Pennsylvania voters to take effect.
