What this bill does
Plain-language analysis by the nonpartisan Legislative Reference Bureau
Article VII, section 24 (2), of the Wisconsin Constitution authorizes the
legislature to set an age, of not less than 70 years, beyond which a supreme court
justice or judge of any court of record may not serve, unless the person is appointed
on a temporary basis as a reserve judge.
Under this bill, no person may be elected or appointed, other than as a
temporary reserve judge, to serve as a supreme court justice or judge of a court of
record if the date of election or appointment occurs on or after the date the person
attains the age of 75 years.
