AI Summary
This bill proposes a constitutional amendment to establish a term renewal process for judges and other appointed officials in Massachusetts. It would require these officials to be reappointed by the Governor and reconfirmed by the Governor's Council every 10 years, in order to ensure the continued quality and evolution of the legal system. The bill specifies that appointments would expire after 10 years, and officials could be reappointed and reconfirmed, but could not serve more than 6 months beyond their 10-year term without completing the renewal process.
