The proposed bill, General Assembly Proposed Bill No. 6529, seeks to amend current statutes regarding justices of the peace. It introduces new provisions that authorize municipal legislative bodies to fill vacancies in unaffiliated justice of the peace positions. Additionally, the bill mandates that the Secretary of the State will oversee the training and certification processes for justices of the peace.

Furthermore, the bill establishes a task force dedicated to examining various issues related to justices of the peace, thereby enhancing the governance and operational standards of this role within the community. The overall aim of the bill is to improve the functionality and accountability of justices of the peace by providing clearer guidelines for vacancies and ensuring proper training and oversight.
