SALARIES OF JUDGES – Amends existing law to revise a provision regarding the salaries of judges.
This bill (H 124) proposes updating salary amounts for Idaho judges under Section 59-502 of the Idaho Code. It sets the 2025 salary for Supreme Court justices at $215,000 annually, with Court of Appeals judges receiving $8,000 less, District judges $6,000 less than Court of Appeals judges, and Magistrate judges $8,000 less than District judges. The bill also requires judges to take an oath confirming no pending cases before receiving salary payments. The changes would take effect July 1, 2025, and the bill is currently pending in the Judiciary committee (as of February 2025).
