Bill > H0639

This bill modifies the base salary for three specific local government positions in Florida: clerks of circuit court and county comptrollers, supervisors of elections, and property appraisers. The bill increases base salaries across six population-based groups, with the base salary for the smallest counties (0-49,999 population) rising from $21,250 to $26,250, and the base salary for the largest counties (1,000,000+ population) increasing from $36,475 to $41,475. The salary calculation method remains the same, where officials receive a base salary plus additional compensation based on population increments above the minimum for their group, multiplied by a specific group rate. These changes apply uniformly across all three types of local government positions, ensuring consistent salary adjustments based on county population size. The bill is set to take effect on July 1, 2025, providing local government officials with increased compensation that reflects the complexity and responsibilities of their roles in counties of different sizes.
