I mentioned a few weeks ago that the Pennsylvania House Judiciary was set to vote May 22 on a constitutional amendment (HB 1815) and its implementing statutory language (HB 1816) to set up a merit selection system of that state’s appellate judges. The vote was deferred to an unspecified date, but now according to the latest posting from the legislature’s committee hearings notice page, the date is now set as June 5 for the constitutional amendment.
