HB 1910 | Limiting judicial rule-making authority [constitutional amendment]

Session: 2021-2022

ACLU-PA Position: Opposes

HB 1910 is a proposed amendment to the Pennsylvania Constitution that would amend Article V, Section 10 (c) to limit the rule making authority of the Pennsylvania Supreme Court.

HB 1910 is a legislative attempt to undermine court rules and the separation of power between the branches. The procedural conflict it invites would not only be disruptive and chaotic, but could also threaten the constitutional protections enshrined in the court’s current rules.
