establishing a committee to study the procedure for judicial performance evaluations.

Summary

The bill directs the chief justice and a majority of the Supreme Court, together with administrative judges, to design a rule‑based program that evaluates all judicial officers at least every three years. Evaluations will use questionnaires, self‑assessments, courtroom observations and case‑processing statistics, and the results will be reported annually to state leaders and made public. The aim is to raise the quality of the judiciary while providing a mechanism for remedial action and limited disciplinary steps.
