Proposing a constitutional amendment regarding the disciplinary powers of the State Commission on Judicial Conduct.

This joint resolution proposes a constitutional amendment to change how Texas judges can be disciplined. It would allow the State Commission on Judicial Conduct to issue public or private admonishments, warnings, reprimands, or require additional training for judges. The amendment also gives the Commission discretion to request a retired judge (as a "Master") to handle evidence and testimony in disciplinary cases, and to recommend removal or retirement to a review tribunal. The change would take effect January 1, 2026, if approved by voters in November 2025. The amendment directly affects judges holding positions listed in the constitution's judicial conduct section.
