Constitutional Amendment to Overhaul Judicial Nominating Commission Selection Process
Plain-English Summary
This proposed constitutional amendment seeks to modify the composition and rules of the 15-member Judicial Nominating Commission (JNC). It would remove restrictions on political affiliation and allow attorneys to serve on the commission, as well as permit members to serve consecutive terms. The JNC is responsible for forwarding names of judicial candidates to the governor for appointment.
What each outcome does
If this measure passes, the Judicial Nominating Commission's membership rules would change, removing restrictions on political affiliation and allowing attorneys to serve. Members would also be permitted to serve consecutive terms.
If this measure fails, the current rules governing the Judicial Nominating Commission would remain in place, maintaining existing restrictions on political affiliation and attorney membership, and limiting consecutive terms.
