House Bill 2814 amends the Government Code to clarify that a district judge's or statutory probate court judge's total annual salary includes all contributions and supplements paid by the state or county, excluding compensation paid to presiding judges. The bill deletes provisions that require counties with a certain population to pay a statutory probate court judge a salary equivalent to that of a district judge or that of the most highly paid statutory county court judge in the county.
