Relates to the mandatory retirement age of judges and justices

This bill would amend the state constitution to require judges and justices to retire at age 76, effective December 31 of the year they turn 76. It allows retired judges to be temporarily reappointed for up to two years (renewable) if certified as mentally/physically competent and needed to expedite court business. Retired justices who previously served on appellate divisions may be designated as temporary appellate justices by the governor. Retired judges would not count toward judicial district staffing numbers for appointment purposes. The bill does not change current retirement practices but establishes a uniform mandatory age for all listed judicial positions.
