Bill > SB2152

This bill proposes an amendment to the Hawaii State Constitution, specifically Article VI, Section 3, to increase the mandatory retirement age for all state court justices and judges from seventy to seventy-five years old. The "judicial selection commission" is a body responsible for presenting lists of nominees for judicial vacancies to the governor or chief justice, and also for determining if justices and judges should be retained in office. The bill also outlines the question that will be presented to voters on a ballot to approve this change, which will ask if they support raising the mandatory retirement age from seventy to seventy-five. This amendment is set to take effect on July 1, 2050, after meeting specific constitutional requirements for amendments.
