Bill overview
This resolution proposes an amendment to the Arizona Constitution regarding the mandatory retirement age for justices and judges. It would set a mandatory retirement age of seventy-five for justices and judges of courts of record, requiring them to retire upon reaching that age. The amendment also clarifies the process for judicial vacancies due to retirement, death, or voluntary resignation, and outlines compensation for retired judges called back to active duty. Finally, it mandates a voter referendum on this proposed constitutional change.
