Bill > HB769

This bill modifies the salary supplement provisions for Superior Court judges in the Gwinnett Judicial Circuit by increasing their annual county-funded supplement from an unspecified previous amount to $80,200, which will be paid in equal monthly installments. The bill includes a contingent effective date of July 1, 2025, with an important condition: the bill will only become effective if a separate proposed state law prohibiting local salary supplements for superior court judges is not enacted during the 2025 legislative session. If the prohibitive state law is approved, this bill will automatically be repealed on July 1, 2025. The bill maintains the existing provision that allows the Gwinnett County governing authority to provide additional supplemental compensation to these judges beyond the specified $80,200 annual supplement, with the specific amount to be determined by the county's governing body.
