HJR 51 -- Judicial Retirement

Sponsor:  Lembke

Currently, the Commission on Retirement, Removal, and Discipline
is responsible for receiving and investigating all requests for
the retirement of judges because of disability and for all
complaints concerning alleged misconduct of judges and judicial
commission members.  Any judge not subject to the Missouri
Nonpartisan Court Plan must petition the commission to continue
to serve past the retirement age of 70 years.  Upon voter
approval, this proposed constitutional amendment abolishes the
commission and makes service of judges past retirement age in
order to complete his or her elected term not subject to a
petition or appeal process.
