Resolution Confirming The Nomination Of The Honorable Thomas J. Corradino Of Madison To Be A State Referee.
The passage of SJ00012 is significant as it ensures that the judicial vacancy filled by Corradino is officially recognized by the legislature. The role of a State Referee contributes to the efficiency and function of the judiciary in handling cases that may require alternative resolution methods outside the traditional court process. This formal confirmation allows for the continuity of judicial functions within the state, impacting those who may seek recourse through the judicial system.
Senate Joint Resolution No. 12, presented during the February Session of 2018, is a resolution aimed at confirming the nomination of the Honorable Thomas J. Corradino of Madison as a State Referee. The bill was introduced by Senators Kissel and Doyle, and Representative Tong. It describes the appointment for a term of eight years beginning on April 28, 2018, and seeks formal approval from the legislative assembly for this nomination.
During discussions regarding SJ00012, there was an overwhelming legislative support as evidenced by the voting history, where the resolution passed with 140 yeas and only 6 nays. The notable lack of contention might indicate a consensus on the qualifications of Corradino for the role, though such nominations can sometimes elicit debate regarding the appointee's background, experience, or political alignment. However, in this case, the resolution's smooth passage suggests bipartisan approval for the nominee.
