Your Committee on Judiciary, to which was referred S.B. No. 995, S.D. 1, entitled:
"A BILL FOR AN ACT PROPOSING AN AMENDMENT TO ARTICLE VI, SECTION 3, OF THE HAWAII CONSTITUTION TO REMOVE THE MANDATORY RETIREMENT AGE FOR STATE JUSTICES AND JUDGES,"

The purpose of this bill is to propose a constitutional amendment repealing the mandatory retirement age of 70 for all state court justices and judges.
AARP Hawaii and a concerned individual supported this bill. The Department of the Attorney General opposed this measure.
As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your Committee on Judiciary that is attached to this report, your Committee is in accord with the intent and purpose of S.B. No. 995, S.D. 1, and recommends that it pass Second Reading and be referred to the Committee on Finance.
Respectfully submitted on behalf of the members of the Committee on Judiciary,
