Proposing a constitutional amendment regarding the disciplinary powers of the State Commission on Judicial Conduct.

SJR 64 proposes a constitutional amendment to change how Texas judges can be disciplined. It would allow the State Commission on Judicial Conduct to require judges to complete additional training or education, in addition to issuing reprimands or warnings. The amendment also adds a new option for the Commission to ask the Supreme Court to appoint a retired judge (a "Master") to hear evidence and make recommendations in disciplinary cases. This change would apply to judges in positions specified under current law and requires voter approval in November 2025, with the amendment taking effect January 1, 2026.
