Bill > HB0040

This bill amends provisions relating to the Judicial Performance Evaluation Commission. The key changes are: 1) The commission will no longer recommend whether voters should retain a judge, but instead will determine if a judge meets or exceeds minimum performance standards or does not meet or exceed those standards. 2) The commission must have at least six votes to make a determination about a judge's performance. 3) The commission's judicial performance evaluations and any commissioner votes are protected records under the Government Records Access and Management Act, with some exceptions. 4) The bill also makes changes to the requirements for the voter information pamphlet regarding the judicial performance evaluation process and judges' performance.
