A bill for an act relating to judicial officer salaries, and including effective date provisions.

This bill establishes a formula to set Iowa judicial salaries based on federal district judge pay, replacing annual appropriations with a fixed percentage schedule. Starting July 2025, state district judges' salaries will increase from 71% to 75% of federal rates over four years, while other judges (e.g., chief justice at 124%, court of appeals judges at 107%) and magistrates (27%) are set as percentages of the district judge salary. The Supreme Court may reduce salaries if judicial branch funding falls short of the formula amounts. The bill takes effect June 20, 2025, affecting all judicial officers in Iowa's court system.
