Resolution Confirming The Nomination Of The Honorable Donald R. Green Of Meriden To Be A Judge Of The Superior Court.
Senate Joint Resolution 54 confirms the Governor’s nomination of the Honorable Donald R. Green of Meriden to serve as a Judge of the Connecticut Superior Court. The resolution states that, upon confirmation by both chambers, Judge Green is appointed to an eight-year term, succeeding the Honorable John D. Moore.
This is a judicial confirmation measure rather than a policy bill. It does not create new substantive law or amend existing statutes; instead, it exercises the General Assembly’s constitutional role in approving a gubernatorial appointment to the state judiciary. If adopted, it would place Judge Green on the Superior Court bench for the specified term.
The resolution affects the composition of the Connecticut Superior Court by filling a judicial vacancy with a confirmed appointee. It has no direct impact on statutory language, regulated industries, or private parties beyond the institutional effect of adding a judge to the court system and enabling the judiciary to continue operating with a full complement of judges.
The available record shows no committee transcript, debate, or recorded vote, so there is no documented public opposition or support in the materials provided. As a nomination confirmation, the measure is typically procedural and often noncontroversial unless concerns are raised about the nominee’s qualifications or judicial philosophy; none are reflected here.
No specific points of contention are identified in the provided materials. Because the resolution concerns a single judicial nomination, any disagreement would likely center on the nominee’s experience, temperament, or legal views, but the record supplied does not show such concerns being raised by legislators or other stakeholders.
