The resolution SCR1026 proposes amendments to the Arizona Constitution regarding the qualifications and appointment processes for judges pro tempore and members of judicial appointment commissions. Specifically, it seeks to eliminate the requirement that attorneys must be members of the State Bar of Arizona to be appointed as judges pro tempore or to serve on judicial appointment commissions. Instead, it allows any attorney licensed in Arizona to be eligible for these positions. Additionally, the resolution removes the stipulation that attorney members of the Commission on Appellate Court Appointments and the Commission on Trial Court Appointments must be nominated by the Board of Governors of the Bar, thereby broadening the pool of potential candidates.

Furthermore, the resolution proposes changes to the composition and term limits of these commissions, including the removal of staggered term limits for initial appointments and allowing current members to serve until their terms expire. It mandates that the Secretary of State submit this proposition to voters at the next general election, and the amendments will take effect only if approved by the voters and proclaimed by the Governor. Overall, the resolution aims to enhance the diversity and accessibility of judicial appointments in Arizona.
