Bill > A1578

Introduced Session

This bill increases the per diem allowance of recalled judges to $750. Under current law, the per diem allowance for recalled judges is fixed by the relevant court. This means that: pursuant to N.J.S.A.52:14F-4, for recalled administrative law judges, the allowance is fixed by the Director or Chief Administrative Law Judge; pursuant to N.J.S.A.43:6A-13, for recalled Supreme Court justices, the allowance is fixed by Supreme Court in accordance with its rules; and pursuant to N.J.S.A.34:15-49, for recalled Workers Compensation judges, the allowance is fixed by the Director or Chief Judge of the Workers Compensation Division. This bill would set the per diem allowance for each of these recalled judges at $750 and remove the authority of the relevant court to set the per diem allowance for recalled judges of these courts.
