Summary

The resolution would change how the state’s highest and intermediate judges are selected, moving from legislative election to gubernatorial appointment with advice and consent of the General Assembly. It also revises vacancy‑filling rules, eliminates the Judicial Merit Selection Commission, and requires each change to be approved by voters in the next general election. The measure currently sits in the House Judiciary Committee awaiting further action.
