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 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.
