LIMIT JUDICIAL APPOINTMENTS TO 7 YEARS (H 34)

By Bob Katzen
This bill would limit judicial appointments to seven years but would allow judges to be re-appointed by the governor for an unlimited number of years every seven years. The appointment would have to be approved by the Governor’s Council as required under current law.

Sponsor Rep. Vanna Howard (D-Lowell) did not respond to repeated requests by Beacon Hill Roll Call asking her why she filed the proposal.
