Proposes constitutional amendment to increase mandatory retirement age for judges and justices from 70 to 72.

SCR 46 proposes a constitutional amendment to raise the mandatory retirement age for New Jersey Supreme Court Justices and Superior Court Judges from 70 to 72 years. Currently, these judicial officers must retire upon reaching age 70 under the state constitution; the amendment would require retirement at age 72 instead. The change applies directly to all current and future justices and judges serving in these courts. As a constitutional amendment, it requires voter approval at the next general election following legislative passage. This is a procedural policy change affecting judicial tenure, not a new law with broader public impact.
