Big Start Tomorrow for the Minnesota Legislature

By E.L. Lipman

Legislators will lose no time whatsoever starting on the big issues of the day, when they reconvene in Saint Paul tomorrow. And topping the agenda will be measures relating to the state court system. Among the bills that will be introduced on the first day of the 2008 regular session will be:

S.F. No. 2401: A bill for an act relating to elections; proposing an amendment to the Minnesota Constitution, article VI, sections 7 and 8; establishing and modifying procedures for filling judicial vacancies; creating a judicial performance commission; and creating a commission on appellate judicial selection.

S.F. No. 2494: A bill for an act relating to courts; creating an exception to mandatory retirement date for judges in office on December 31, 1973. (Introduced by Senator Latz)
