AI Summary
This joint resolution, passed by both the House of Delegates and the Senate, outlines the process for electing various judicial and commission members in Virginia. Specifically, it details the election of Circuit Court judges for eight-year terms, General District Court judges and Juvenile and Domestic Relations District Court judges for six-year terms, a member of the State Corporation Commission (SCC), which oversees business and regulatory matters in Virginia, for a six-year term, and a member of the Virginia Workers' Compensation Commission, which handles work-related injury claims, for a six-year term. The resolution also clarifies the specific judicial circuits and districts for which these judges will be elected and their commencement dates, and confirms the six-year term for a previously elected SCC member, Kelsey A. Bagot, ending in 2030. The process involves nominations, notification between houses, and a joint committee to count votes and report results, with provisions for temporary suspension of the order.
