Summary
The legislation increases the base pay for the chief justice, associate justices, appellate judges, chancellors, circuit and criminal court judges beginning September 1, 2030, and sets a future adjustment schedule. It also changes how general sessions and juvenile judges are classified and paid, reducing the number of county classes from seven to five and allowing counties to make these judges full‑time with a two‑thirds vote, which would bar them from other employment. These changes aim to standardize judicial compensation and address part‑time status issues.
