Bill Summary
Per diem compensation of a substitute judge of a district court. Increases from $200 to $350 the per diem compensation of each substitute judge of a district court. The bill also increases the per diem compensation for such judge from $100 to $175 if the substitute judge sits less than four hours or presides over less than a full docket. The bill reflects language in subsection S of Item 31 of Chapter 2 of the Acts of Assembly of 2024, Special Session I.
AI Summary
This bill amends the Code of Virginia to increase the per diem compensation for substitute district court judges. Currently, substitute judges receive $200 per day for their services, but the bill raises this to $350. Additionally, when a substitute judge works less than a full court docket or serves less than four hours, their compensation will increase from $100 to $175, as certified by the judge they are replacing. The bill also makes a minor grammatical change, replacing "which" with "that" in describing how a district court judge's annual salary is determined. The legislation ensures that substitute judges are more appropriately compensated for their time and service in the district court system, reflecting potential increased costs and workload for these temporary judicial roles. The change is part of the broader legislative efforts to support and fairly compensate judicial personnel in Virginia.
