RESOLUTION CONFIRMING THE NOMINATION OF SEAN P. MCGUINNESS, ESQUIRE, OF NORWALK TO BE A JUDGE OF THE SUPERIOR COURT.

This bill confirms the Governor's nomination of Sean P. McGuinness to serve as a judge on the Superior Court. The resolution approves his appointment for an eight-year term, which begins once both the House and Senate finalize the confirmation process. This action replaces the outgoing judge, Theodore R. Tyma, and directly affects the composition of the state's Superior Court bench. By passing this measure, the General Assembly completes the judicial selection process for McGuinness.
