The bill would amend Government Code §46.002 to make the district attorney of the 46th Judicial District subject to the professional prosecutors act. Currently, under Government Code §41.013 the district attorney for the 46th Judicial District is compensated at a rate of 80 percent of the compensation paid a district judge (currently $100,000). The district consists of three counties: Foard, Hardeman, and Wilbarger.
The bill would take effect September 1, 2007.
The bill would require the state to pay the maximum allowable salary—currently $125,000 per year—to the district attorney of the 46th Judicial District. This would represent an increase in state expense of $25,000 for the salary and $1,863 in retirement benefits beginning in fiscal year 2008 and each year thereafter.
