Thursday, Governor Kathleen Sebelius signed a bill that allows retired judges to serve again.
It's all part of an effort to strengthen a state commission responsible for judicial performance.
Currently, the commission has one open seat that can now be filled with a retired justice or judge.
The new law allows that person to serve on the commission no longer than three-and-a-half months within in a two-year-period.
The new commission member will also receive a monthly stipend equal to 25-percent of their former monthly salary.
