Relating to an annual salary supplement for a judge of a division of the business court.

SB 2884 would require the state to provide an annual salary supplement to judges in the business court divisions. The supplement equals the difference between a business court judge's state base salary and the maximum combined salary (state plus county) paid to district judges. This change directly affects business court judges by aligning their total compensation with district judges' highest possible pay. The bill takes effect on September 1, 2025, and amends Texas Government Code Section 659.012.
