Permits retired judges to practice law while receiving pension or retirement allowance.

This bill (S 591) removes a long-standing ban preventing retired New Jersey judges from practicing law while receiving a pension or retirement allowance from the Judicial Retirement System. It amends state law to allow retired judges to engage in legal practice before New Jersey courts, directly affecting judges who have retired but wish to continue legal work. The key change deletes the existing prohibition in Section 13(a) of the law, with the Supreme Court retaining authority to establish rules governing such practice. The bill does not alter pension amounts or create new financial obligations for the state.
