Beta

This bill would give the Kentucky General Assembly the authority to set the salaries of Supreme Court Justices and Court of Appeals Judges. Currently, the process for determining these salaries is governed by existing law, and this change would shift that responsibility directly to the legislature. Who it may affect: Kentucky Supreme Court Justices and Court of Appeals Judges, and taxpayers who fund judicial salaries.
