SB 627 Wisconsin Senate · 2025-2026 Regular Session

Relating to: setting a maximum age for serving as a supreme court justice or judge of a court of record.

SB 627 sets a maximum age of 75 for new appointments or elections to the state supreme court or courts of record, meaning no one can be elected or appointed after turning 75. It directly affects future judicial candidates but does not apply to current judges or temporary reserve judges under existing rules. The bill creates a clear age limit in state law for all new judicial positions in these courts. This is a procedural change affecting only future appointments, not current or existing judges.
