Bill overview
This bill proposes to limit the terms of Supreme Court justices to 18 years. It would establish a set term length for new justices appointed after the bill’s enactment and would retroactively deem current justices to have retired after a certain period of service, based on their appointment date. The bill aims to modernize the Supreme Court’s retirement process and potentially increase the court’s responsiveness to changing societal views. It also addresses situations where the court’s size is reduced due to vacancies.
