Senate Bill 627 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 date of their election or appointment occurs on or after they turn 75 years old. This age limit is set in accordance with Article VII, section 24 (2) of the Wisconsin Constitution, which allows the legislature to impose such restrictions.

The bill includes a provision that exempts temporary reserve judges from this age limitation, allowing them to be appointed regardless of age. This means that while the maximum age for regular justices and judges is set at 75, individuals serving in a temporary capacity as reserve judges can still be appointed beyond this age threshold. The bill was introduced by Senator Tomczyk and has garnered support from several representatives, reflecting a legislative effort to regulate the age of judicial appointments in Wisconsin.
