Relates to increasing the salaries of judges
This bill proposes to increase the annual salaries for judges, justices, court administrators, and administrative judges across various New York state courts. The legislation directly affects personnel in the Court of Appeals, Supreme Court, Court of Claims, county courts, family courts, surrogate's courts, and specialized courts in New York City and Nassau and Suffolk counties. Key provisions amend the Judiciary Law to establish new salary figures, raising pay for most positions by approximately $80,000 to $100,000, while also adjusting specific compensation for justices serving on appellate terms. The bill lists exact dollar amounts for each judicial role and county, replacing previous salary levels with higher standardized rates.
