relating to the power of the supreme and superior courts. Providing that such power is repealed.

Summary

The amendment would delete Article 72‑a, which currently vests judicial authority in the Supreme Court, Superior Court and lower courts, and would give the General Court unrestricted power to create and organize any courts. This shifts the source of judicial power from the courts to the legislature, affecting the state’s court system and anyone who uses it. The proposal was not adopted.
