Marion County judges.

HB 1533 establishes a process for removing a judge appointed to Marion County Superior Court through a public vote (a "public question" on the ballot), rather than through judicial disciplinary procedures. This bill directly affects judges appointed to the Marion County Superior Court by the governor. The key mechanism requires voters in Marion County to approve removal via ballot measure if initiated by a specified petition process. The bill does not change existing grounds for removal or judicial conduct standards, only creating this new public vote option. It is currently under review by the Committee on Courts and Criminal Code.
