Bill overview
This bill, the Territorial Judgeship Retirement Equity Act of 2020, aims to make it easier for judges in Guam, the Northern Mariana Islands, and the Virgin Islands to receive retirement annuities and serve as senior judges. It lowers the age and years of service required for these benefits, particularly for judges who retire due to disability or upon completion of their term. The bill also clarifies the process for judges to advise the President of their willingness to be reappointed and establishes a minimum service requirement for becoming a senior judge.
