communities statewide, including locations at the James R. Thompson
Center State of Illinois Building in Chicago and on the campus of the

excessive rates, rollovers, consecutive loans, and concurrent
lending, for the purpose of establishing in future legislation a fair
rate structure and lending guidelines that protect consumers against
unacceptable practices; and be it further
RESOLVED, That the study include a discussion of problems payday
loan practices cause for borrowers and consumers in general; and be
it further
RESOLVED, That the Commission report its findings and

Court. A person appointed to fill a vacancy 60 or more days prior to
the next primary election to nominate Judges shall serve until the
vacancy is filled for a term at the next general or judicial
election. A person appointed to fill a vacancy less than 60 days
prior to the next primary election to nominate Judges shall serve

election following such appointment.

six months before the general election preceding the expiration of
his term of office, a Supreme, Appellate or Circuit Judge who has
been elected to that office may file in the office of the Secretary
of State a declaration of candidacy to succeed himself. The Secretary
of State, not less than 63 days before the election, shall certify
the Judge's candidacy to the proper election officials. The names of
Judges seeking retention shall be submitted to the electors,
separately and without party designation, on the sole question
whether each Judge shall be retained in office for another term. The
retention elections shall be conducted at general elections in the
appropriate Judicial District, for Supreme and Appellate Judges, and
in the circuit for Circuit Judges. The affirmative vote of
three-fifths of the electors voting on the question shall elect the
Judge to the office for a term commencing on the first Monday in
December following his election.
(e) A law reducing the number of Appellate or Circuit Judges
shall be without prejudice to the right of the Judges affected to
seek retention in office. A reduction shall become effective when a
vacancy occurs in the affected unit.

office of the Director of the Administrative Office of Illinois
Courts a declaration of candidacy for retention in that office. Any
Judge of the First Judicial Circuit who holds office subsequent to
the effective date of this Constitutional Amendment shall be eligible
for retention in the office to which he or she was appointed. No
later than 11 months before the general election next preceding the

Judge's candidacy. The Chair shall then promptly convene the
Commission.
(b) No later than 195 days before the general election to be
held in that calendar year, each Judicial Review Commission shall
issue a notice to the public and shall make all reasonable efforts to
publicize the notice. The notice shall provide that any individual
or organization shall have until at least 165 days before the general
election in which to submit written comments about the performance of
and capacity to continue serving of any Judge being considered for
retention by the particular Judicial Review Commission. The Judicial
Review Commission's notice to the public shall list the names and
then current assignments of all Judges being considered by it for
retention and shall provide an address to which written comments may

of the Administrative Office of Illinois Courts at the same time that
the evaluations of the Judges and the Judicial Review Commission's
written report on each Judge are made public pursuant to subsection
(d), except that written comments shall not be made public if the
commenter so requests.
(c) If by concurrence of not less than three-fifths of its
members the Judicial Review Commission finds the candidate to be
qualified to serve another term, the candidate shall be deemed
retained in office for a full term commencing on the first Monday in
December of that calendar year. The standard for determining
qualifications to serve another term shall be the same used to
determine whether a person shall be recommended to fill a vacancy
pursuant to subsection (b) of Section 12.2.

office during the term that is expiring and shall comment upon its

candidates it has found qualified to serve another term; (ii) which
candidates it has found not qualified to serve another term; and
(iii) which candidates have withdrawn their candidacy by written
notification to the Judicial Review Commission. At the same time

Commission shall also make its list public. In addition, the
Judicial Review Commission shall make public its written evaluations,
which it previously submitted to all of the candidates who sought
retention, except for those candidates who withdrew their retention
candidacies no later than 135 days before the general election.

electorate at the general election. The Judge shall file in the
office of the Secretary of State, not less than 135 days before the
election, a declaration of candidacy for retention by the electorate.

State shall certify the Judge's candidacy to the proper election
officials. At the election, the name of each Judge who has timely
filed a declaration of candidacy for retention by the electorate
shall be submitted to the electorate, separately and without party
designation, on the sole question of retention in office for another
term. Retention elections shall be conducted at the same time as

electors voting on the question of retention shall be necessary to
retain a Judge in that office for a full term commencing on the first
Monday in December following the election.
(f) A Judge eligible to file a declaration of candidacy for
retention who (i) fails to do so by the first Monday in December of
the calendar year before the expiration of his or her then current
term or (ii) declares his or her candidacy for retention and
subsequently withdraws that candidacy pursuant to subsection (d) or
fails of retention shall vacate the office on the first Monday in
December following the general election held in that calendar year,
whether or not a successor shall yet have been selected and

of candidacy for retention or withdraws as a candidate 135 days or
more before the next general election, the selection of a successor,
if any, shall proceed immediately in the manner provided in Sections
12.1 and 12.2 so that the successor may take office as soon as the
vacancy occurs.
(g) An authorized reduction in the number of Judges in the First
Judicial Circuit shall be without prejudice to the right of Judges in
office at the time of the reduction to seek retention in accordance
with this Section. The reduction shall become effective when a
