Bill > SB3

This bill allows the Supreme Court of Appeals, through its Administrative Director, to establish uniform pay scales for various judicial support staff, including magistrate court clerks, magistrate assistants, magistrate court deputy clerks, and family court secretary-clerks and case coordinators. Previously, the salaries for these positions were set at specific annual amounts, but this legislation removes those fixed amounts and replaces them with pay scales determined by the Administrative Director, aiming to improve recruitment and retention by providing more consistent and duty-based compensation. The bill also grants the Supreme Court of Appeals the authority to create additional classifications of support staff for family courts and set their salaries within certain limits.
