Wicomico County - Orphans' Court Judge - Annual Salary

SB 976 increases the annual salary for the judge of Wicomico County's Orphans' Court from $11,600 to $16,000, effective July 1, 2026. The bill amends Maryland's Annotated Code (Article - Estates and Trusts, Section 2-108(v)(1)) to set this new salary amount, paid quarterly. It applies only to judges serving terms beginning after the effective date, not to current judges in office before July 1, 2026. This is a direct compensation adjustment for one specific judicial position in Wicomico County.
