Constitutional Amendments - Proposes an amendment to Article VI, Section 4 of the Constitution of Tennessee to change the residency requirements for a judge from being a resident of the circuit or district for one year to being a resident of a county of the respective circuit or district to which the judge is to be assigned for one year. -

SJR 618 proposes changing Tennessee's constitutional requirement for judges. Currently, judges must have lived in the circuit or district for one year before election; this amendment would require residency in the *specific county* of the court they will serve for one year instead. The change directly affects candidates running for judicial positions in Tennessee's county courts. This is a procedural constitutional amendment, not a law changing current court operations.
