Constitutional Amendments - Proposes an amendment to Article VI, Section 4 of the Constitution of Tennessee to change the residency requirements for a judge from being a resident of the circuit or district for one year to being a resident of a county of the respective circuit or district to which the judge is to be assigned for one year. -

HJR 805 proposes a constitutional amendment to change Tennessee's residency requirement for judges. Currently, judges must have lived in the entire circuit or district for one year before election; the bill would require residency only in the specific county of the circuit or district where the judge is assigned. This change would directly affect judges running for positions in Tennessee's judicial districts by altering the geographic scope of their required residency. The amendment is procedural, focusing solely on modifying the constitutional language without adding new policies or funding.
