January 26, 2010

The Joint Committee on Judicial Retention will be meeting tomorrow at 5 to set its schedule for this year’s round of judges that want to be retained. Here’s what to expect. The first meeting will be with the three judges- Judges Durkin, Howard, and Toor. That will happen at 5 PM on February 3rd in Room 10 of the Statehouse. The public hearing will be on Thursday, February 11th at 7 PM in Room 11. As is customary the judges are invited back to respond to anything that may have been raised during the public testimony; that will occur on Wednesday, February 17th at 5 PM, again in Room 10. The Committee will meet to deliberate and vote on Wednesday, February 24th at 5 PM in Room 10. The plan is for the joint assembly to occur on Thursday, March 18th at 10:30 AM. I’ll let you know if any of these dates change. All of these meetings are open to the public and you should feel free to testify on the 11th if you desire.
The House Judiciary Committee’s work on H. 533, the military parental rights act is finished. It was voted out unanimously and will be up for action on Thursday. I expect the bill will be on the fast track, at least through the House.
Sorry for such a short update; more tomorrow. Thanks for reading.
