Proposes an amendment to Article VIII of the state constitution to allow judges of probate who reach age 70 while in office to complete their current term.

Maintains the existing prohibition that judges cannot be eligible to hold office after reaching age 70, with exceptions for supreme court justices and superior court judges who become state referees.

Adds a new exception specifically for judges of probate, permitting them to continue serving until their term ends despite attaining age 70.

Directs the proposed amendment to be presented to voters at the general election on November 6, 2018, with a ballot designation asking whether probate judges should be allowed to complete their term after turning 70.
