Judicial compensation; uniform pay plan for justices & judges revised
This bill revises the uniform pay plan for justices and judges in Alabama, directly affecting all supreme court justices, appellate court judges, circuit judges, and district judges. It changes how judicial experience is credited for salary calculations and increases. Under this bill, a judge or justice's salary will be based on their total years of service in *any* state court, rather than being specific to the court level where the experience was acquired. This creates a more unified system for calculating judicial compensation based on overall state court service.
