Bill > HJR0805

This joint resolution proposes an amendment to the Tennessee Constitution, specifically Article VI, Section 4, concerning the residency requirements for judges. Currently, judges must have been residents of the state for five years and of the specific circuit or district they serve for one year before their election. The proposed change would alter this to require judges to be residents of a county within the circuit or district to which they are assigned for one year, while maintaining the five-year state residency requirement. This resolution is being referred to the next legislative session, the One Hundred Fifteenth General Assembly, and will be published online by the Secretary of State as part of the process for amending the state constitution.
