Bill Summary

AN ACT To amend An Act establishing the State Court of Muscogee County, approved December 20, 1884 (Ga. L. 1884-85, p. 455), as amended, so as to modify provisions relating to the salaries of the solicitor-general, the chief assistant solicitor-general, and other assistant solicitors-general; to provide for related matters; to repeal conflicting laws; and for other purposes.

AI Summary

This bill modifies the salaries for key legal positions within the State Court of Muscogee County, Georgia, which was originally established in 1884. Specifically, it sets the annual salary for the solicitor-general, the chief prosecutor for the court, to be at least 90% of the salary of a junior judge of the same court, and requires the solicitor-general to dedicate their full time to the office, prohibiting private legal practice. The bill also outlines provisions for assistant solicitors-general, allowing the solicitor-general to appoint a chief assistant who must also devote their full time to the job and will earn at least 80% of the solicitor-general's salary. Furthermore, it permits the designation of "senior assistant solicitor-general" for those with at least five years of legal experience, with their salaries to be determined by the solicitor-general and aligned with other county or state attorneys, all of whom will be paid from Muscogee County funds.
