Bill > SR695

This Senate Resolution addresses Senate Bill No. 293, which concerns judicial conduct, compensation, and retirement benefits. Specifically, the resolution focuses on a procedural matter where the Senate is requesting the House of Representatives to recede from Section 23 of its amendments. The key provision involves modifying Section 814.103 of the Government Code, which deals with judicial retirement annuities. The resolution stipulates that any salary increases for district judges in the 89th Legislature's 2025 General Appropriations Act will not apply to retirement annuities for judges who retired before September 1, 2025. Furthermore, the resolution maintains the existing salary levels for district judges' annuities until future legislation is enacted by the 90th Legislature or later that specifically increases judicial base salaries. The Senate has adopted this resolution with a unanimous vote of 30 yeas and 0 nays, with one member present but not voting, and requests the House to agree to these amendments, which would then lead to the bill being enrolled.
