Assembly Bill 640 proposes the creation of a new statute, 757.023, which establishes a maximum age limit for individuals serving as supreme court justices or judges of a court of record in Wisconsin. Specifically, the bill stipulates that no person may be elected or appointed to these positions if the election or appointment occurs after they reach the age of 75 years. This measure is intended to ensure that judges and justices are within a certain age range, promoting a standard for judicial service.

The bill includes a provision that exempts temporary reserve judges from this age restriction, allowing them to be appointed regardless of age. This exception is outlined in subsection (2) of the proposed statute, which clarifies that the age limit does not apply to those appointed under section 753.075. Overall, the bill aims to set a clear guideline regarding the age of judicial appointments while still accommodating the need for temporary judicial service.
