Bill > SCR1040

This resolution proposes amendments to the Arizona Constitution that would raise the mandatory retirement age for justices and judges of courts of record from seventy to seventy-five years old, requiring them to retire upon reaching this new age unless an exception under section 35 of the constitution applies. The resolution also clarifies that a retired justice or judge receiving retirement pay may serve on any court, and if serving outside their county of residence, they will receive travel and subsistence expenses, with temporarily recalled retired judges receiving compensation and expenses similar to active judges, less their retirement benefits. Additionally, it specifies that a judicial office becomes vacant upon reaching the age of seventy-five, death, voluntary retirement or resignation, or if voters reject retention in office. This proposal will be submitted to the voters at the next general election for their approval.
