A BILL TO BE ENTITLED
AN ACT TO AMEND THE LAW REGARDING THE LENGTH OF CREDITABLE SERVICE REQUIRED OF EMERGENCY JUDGES.
The General Assembly of North Carolina enacts:
Section 1.  G.S. 7A-52(a) reads as rewritten:
"(a)	Judges of the district court and judges of the superior court who have not reached the mandatory retirement age specified in G.S. 7A-4.20, but who have retired under the provisions of G.S. 7A-51, or under the Uniform Judicial Retirement Act after having completed five years of creditable service, may apply as provided in G.S. 7A-53 to become emergency judges of the court from which they retired. The Chief Justice of the Supreme Court may order any emergency judge of the district or superior court who, in his opinion, is competent to perform the duties of a judge of the court from which such judge retired, to hold regular or special sessions of such court, as needed. Order of assignment shall be in writing and entered upon the minutes of the court to which such emergency judge is assigned."
Sec. 2.  This act is effective upon ratification.
