Bill overview
This proposed constitutional amendment seeks to change the rules governing the retirement of judges and justices in New Jersey. Currently, judges and justices must retire at age 70. This bill would raise that mandatory retirement age to 72. Supporters argue this change would promote judicial diversity and ensure fresh perspectives on the bench, while opponents express concerns about experienced judges losing their positions prematurely.
