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 their election or appointment occurs after they reach the age of 75 years. 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 legislation aims to ensure that individuals serving in these critical judicial roles are within a certain age range, while still providing flexibility for temporary appointments.
