Proposed constitutional amendment to remove gubernatorial appointment of certain municipal court judges.

This constitutional amendment would allow the Legislature to set a new method for appointing judges of municipal courts with jurisdiction over more than one municipality. Currently, these judges must be nominated by the Governor and approved by the Senate. The new method could involve the Governor and Senate or another process. This change would not apply to judges of courts serving a single municipality. A "yes" vote would amend the Constitution to allow the Legislature to create a new appointment process. A "no" vote would leave the current process unchanged.
