Bill Summary
AN ACT To amend an Act providing supplements to the salaries of the judges of superior court, the district attorney, and the chief assistant district attorney of the Flint Judicial Circuit, approved March 21, 1984 (Ga. L. 1984, p. 705), as amended, particularly by an Act approved April 9, 1999 (Ga. L. 1999, p. 4169), so as to provide the chief judge with an annual stipend in addition to county compensation to superior court judges; to provide for related matters; to repeal conflicting laws; and for other purposes.
AI Summary
This bill provides an additional annual stipend of $10,000 to the chief judge of the superior court in the Flint Judicial Circuit, specifically for Henry County. The stipend will be paid from county funds in 12 equal monthly payments and is separate from the judge's existing state compensation and any other county supplements. The Flint Judicial Circuit is a specific court jurisdiction in Georgia, and this bill amends a previous act from 1984 that originally established salary supplements for superior court judges, the district attorney, and the chief assistant district attorney in this circuit. The purpose appears to be to provide extra compensation specifically for the administrative responsibilities of the chief judge, recognizing the additional leadership duties beyond regular judicial work. The bill follows standard legislative procedure by including a clause that repeals any conflicting laws, ensuring clean implementation of the new stipend provision.
