The state Senate passed an amendment, SB 222, that would create new judge positions in Pennsylvania’s Courts of Common Pleas. Out of the seven changes the bill calls for, none are decreases, but Senate voting documents show legislators went back-and-forth on how many judges should preside in Delaware County’s Court of Common Pleas.
When the bill was first referred to the Senate Judiciary Committee, the suggested number of judges for Delaware County’s trial court was 21, an increase of only one from its current bench of 20 judges. On March 21, the committee amended the bill to increase the number of judgeships on the Delaware County Court of Common Pleas to 22. On April 26, the Senate Appropriations Committee re-referred the bill with 22 judgeships listed for the 32nd District. .
