Prince George's County - State's Attorney Salary - Alteration PG 426-26

HB 1222 increases the salary for the Prince George’s County State’s Attorney from $199,000 to $250,000 annually, effective October 1, 2026. The bill directly affects future State’s Attorneys elected or appointed after the effective date, not the current officeholder serving before that date. It amends Maryland’s Criminal Procedure Code (Section 15-417(b)(1)) to set the new salary amount and requires payment in equal semimonthly installments. The change applies only to terms beginning after October 1, 2026, as specified in Section 2 of the bill.
