SUMMARY:

Judicial Inquiry and Review Commission. Allows the Commission to suspend a judge with pay if there is probable cause to believe that continued performance of his judicial duties constitutes both a substantial and immediate threat to the public interest in the administration of justice. The Commission is also empowered, under this bill, to order a mental or physical examination of a judge if the Commission has probable cause to believe that he cannot perform his duties due to excessive use of alcohol or drugs or physical or mental illness. This bill is recommended by the Joint Subcommittee Studying the Judicial Inquiry and Review Commission. Identical to SB 642.
