Summary

The bill caps the annual pay for Maryland circuit court clerks and registers of wills at the salary of a state employee in grade 26, step 20 on the standard salary scale. The Board of Public Works sets each office’s salary based on workload and other factors, and any changes to the scale take effect only for the next term. It also removes an outdated minimum salary rule for the Baltimore City register of wills.
