Summary

The bill lets the circuit court’s presiding judge name a temporary probate judge if the elected judge is incompetent, incapacitated, absent, or otherwise disqualified. It also permits the elected judge to add one or more temporary judges for up to 90‑day terms to ease heavy caseloads. Temporary judges have full probate authority, must post a $10,000 bond, and are paid 90% of the elected judge’s salary.
