Bill > SB337

This bill amends the compensation structure for the Montgomery County Probate Judge by adding a new provision that allows judges who have served at least six full years in the role to receive a salary equivalent to a circuit judge with the same years of service, replacing any previous compensation specified by law. Currently, the probate judge's salary is set at $88,000 per annum (as of October 1, 1996), with annual increases tied to county employee across-the-board raises, limited to a maximum increase of $3,000 per fiscal year. The new provision means that after six years of service, the probate judge's salary will be determined by the same scale used for circuit judges, potentially resulting in a significant salary increase. The bill will take effect on June 1, 2025, and is specifically targeted at the Montgomery County Probate Judge position. This change appears designed to provide long-serving probate judges with compensation more commensurate with their experience and the judicial circuit pay scale.
