Bill > ACR124

This Concurrent Resolution proposes a constitutional amendment to increase the mandatory retirement age for judges and justices in New Jersey from 70 to 72 years old. The resolution, agreed to by both the General Assembly and the Senate, outlines the process for amending the state's Constitution, which includes submitting the proposed change to voters at the next general election occurring more than three months after final agreement. The amendment specifically targets Article VI, Section VI, paragraph 3 of the New Jersey Constitution, which currently mandates retirement at age 70 for Justices of the Supreme Court and Judges of the Superior Court. If approved by voters, this change would allow these judicial officers to continue serving for an additional two years.
