Bill Summary
RELATING TO SALARIES OF JUDGES; AMENDING SECTION 59-502, IDAHO CODE, TO REVISE A PROVISION REGARDING THE SALARY OF THE JUSTICES OF THE SUPREME COURT; AND DECLARING AN EMERGENCY AND PROVIDING AN EFFECTIVE DATE.
AI Summary
This bill amends Idaho Code Section 59-502 to increase the annual salary of Supreme Court justices from $169,508 to $186,508, effective July 1, 2025. The bill maintains the existing salary structure for other judicial positions, which are calculated relative to the Supreme Court justices' salary: Court of Appeals judges will continue to earn $8,000 less than Supreme Court justices, district judges will earn $6,000 less than Court of Appeals judges, and magistrate judges will earn $8,000 less than district judges. The bill also retains the existing requirement that judges must take an oath affirming they have no undecided cases older than 30 days before receiving their salary. An emergency clause is included, which means the bill will go into effect immediately upon passage, specifically on July 1, 2025, to implement the salary increase for Supreme Court justices.
