Bill > HB1350

This bill amends the Counties Code to adjust the salary structure for State's Attorneys in counties with fewer than 30,000 inhabitants. Effective December 1, 2025, State's Attorneys in counties with fewer than 10,000 inhabitants will receive the same salary as State's Attorneys in counties with 10,000 to 20,000 inhabitants, which effectively increases their compensation. The bill specifically modifies the existing salary provisions by inserting a new paragraph (6) that ensures State's Attorneys in smaller counties will receive salary increases comparable to those in larger counties, including any cost of living adjustments authorized by the Compensation Review Board. This change aims to provide more equitable compensation for State's Attorneys across different county population sizes, with the state continuing to fund a significant portion of their salaries. The bill maintains the existing framework of state and county salary contributions, ensuring that smaller counties can attract and retain qualified legal professionals in this critical public service role.
