Bill > H1632

This bill amends Section 221 of the General Laws to add a new section, Section 6P, which allows the clerk of the superior court for criminal business in Suffolk County to designate one of the assistant clerks to perform duties related to criminal proceedings. This designated assistant clerk, who will act under the direction of the clerk and can be removed by the court or the clerk, will receive an additional payment equivalent to ten percent of the clerk's salary, on top of their existing salary as an assistant clerk. This provision aims to provide additional compensation for assistant clerks who take on these specific magistrate-like responsibilities in Suffolk County's criminal court system.
