Relates to the mandatory retirement age of judges and justices
This bill (A 3757) sets a mandatory retirement age of 76 for judges and justices in New York State, including those serving on the Court of Appeals, Supreme Court, County Court, and other specified courts. It requires these officials to retire on December 31 of the year they turn 76, though retired judges may continue working under certification for up to two years (with possible extensions) if deemed necessary and medically fit. The bill also clarifies that retired judges do not count toward judicial district staffing limits and specifies how retired justices may be temporarily assigned or designated to appellate divisions. The changes apply directly to current and future judicial officers in the courts listed in the constitutional amendment.
