A Joint Resolution proposing an amendment to the Constitution of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, further providing for tenure of justices, judges and justices of the peace.

HB 566 proposes a constitutional amendment to reduce the term length for judges (including those in Philadelphia's municipal court) and justices of the peace in Pennsylvania from ten years to six years. If approved, this change would affect current and future judicial officers by requiring more frequent re-elections for these positions. The amendment must first pass both the Pennsylvania House and Senate, then be ratified by voters in the next general election to become part of the state constitution. This is a procedural change to judicial tenure, not a direct law affecting other groups.
