Proposes a constitutional amendment changing various provisions relating to judges

Summary

The amendment would replace part of Article V with new sections that require at least one resident associate circuit judge in each county, shift many judicial selections to governor appointment with Senate consent, and let voters decide by ballot whether judges are appointed or elected. It also creates retention elections and sets new term lengths for supreme court, appellate, circuit and associate judges.
