SJR0618 proposes an amendment to Article VI, Section 4 of the Tennessee Constitution to modify the residency requirements for judges. Instead of requiring judges to be residents of the circuit or district for one year, the amendment stipulates that judges must reside in a county within the respective circuit or district for one year prior to their assignment. This change affects the eligibility criteria for judges in Tennessee, potentially broadening the pool of candidates by allowing residency in any county within the circuit or district.
