The proposed bill, General Assembly Proposed Bill No. 6529, seeks to amend current statutes regarding justices of the peace. The bill introduces new provisions that authorize municipal legislative bodies to fill vacancies in unaffiliated justice of the peace positions. Additionally, it mandates that the Secretary of the State 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 aiming to enhance the effectiveness and governance of this role within the community. The overall intent of the bill is to improve the management and operational standards of justices of the peace through local legislative involvement and state oversight.
