Honorable Will Hartnett, Chair, House Committee on Judiciary

IN RE:
HB1625 by Puente (Relating to the compensation of district judges in Bexar County.), As Introduced

 

HB 1625 , to be effective September 1, 2005, would allow the Bexar County commissioners court to determine the amount of the county's portion of the judicial district judge's salary without any cap. Under current statute, the combined yearly salary paid to a judicial district judge in Bexar County by the state and county cannot exceed $1,000 less than the combined yearly salary of a justice of the court of appeals in the court of appeals district in which Bexar County is located. Current statute also provides that a district judge's salary from a county and the state combined cannot exceed $2,000 less than the salary of a justice of the supreme court.

 

 The bill, if enacted, will have no actuarial effect because it does not propose to change the funding or obligations of any public retirement system.
