Bill > H1610

This bill adjusts the salaries of justices within the judicial branch by amending specific sections of Massachusetts General Laws, specifically chapters 211, 211A, and 211B, which govern the judiciary. The changes involve replacing existing salary figures with higher ones, effectively increasing the pay for these judicial officers. For instance, in Section 22 of Chapter 211, a salary of $166,239 is replaced with $172,889, and then further increased to $179,805. Similar adjustments are made to salaries outlined in Section 2 of Chapter 211A and Section 4 of Chapter 211B, with staggered effective dates: the initial salary increases take effect on July 1, 2015, and a subsequent set of increases takes effect on January 1, 2016.
