Bill > SJR0618

This concurrent resolution proposes an amendment to the Tennessee Constitution, specifically Article VI, Section 4, concerning the residency requirements for judges. The proposed change would alter the requirement that judges must have been residents of the specific judicial circuit or district for one year before their election, to instead require them to be a resident of a county within that circuit or district for one year. This amendment, if approved by a majority of both houses of the legislature and subsequently by voters, would modify the qualifications for judges in Tennessee. The resolution also outlines the process for referring the proposed amendment to the next legislative session and for its public notification.
