Bill Summary

AN ACT To amend an Act creating the Gwinnett Judicial Circuit and providing for its powers, duties, jurisdiction, and officers, approved February 12, 1960 (Ga. L. 1960, p. 110), as amended, so as to provide an additional supplement for the chief judge of said circuit; to provide for related matters; to provide an effective date; to repeal conflicting laws; and for other purposes.

AI Summary

This bill amends the existing legislation for the Gwinnett Judicial Circuit by adding a provision that requires Gwinnett County's governing authority to provide an additional $10,000 annual supplement to the compensation of the chief judge of the superior court. Specifically, this supplement will be paid from county funds in 12 equal monthly installments and is separate from any other county supplements already provided to superior court judges. The bill will become effective on June 1, 2025, and it includes a standard clause repealing any conflicting laws. The purpose of this legislation appears to be providing additional financial support specifically for the chief judge of the Gwinnett County Superior Court, recognizing the additional administrative responsibilities that come with the chief judge role.
