Bill > HB1514

This bill adjusts the salaries and benefits for several Calvert County officials, specifically increasing the annual salaries for the five County Commissioners to $58,000 for the president and $53,000 for associate members, and allows them to be reimbursed for up to $2,000 annually for office-related costs, with former commissioners who have served 10 years eligible for retiree health benefits. It also modifies the compensation for the president and other members of the Calvert County Board of Education, setting their salaries at $8,500 and $7,500 respectively starting in calendar year 2027, and maintains their eligibility for health insurance benefits. The bill significantly raises the annual salary of the County Treasurer of Calvert County to $115,000 and alters their pension benefits, with those beginning a term on or after November 4, 2026, receiving the same pension benefits as other county employees, while also repealing a provision regarding the salary of State's Attorneys in Calvert County. These changes are set to take effect on October 1, 2026, and will apply to terms of office beginning on or after that date, with an exception for individuals appointed or elected to fill an unexpired term before the effective date.
