Louisiana HB597 amends judicial compensation, setting annual salary increases based on a rolling five-year average of the Consumer Price Index.
Louisiana HB597 revises the process for determining judicial salary increases. It mandates that the Department of the Treasury calculate annual raises for Louisiana Supreme Court, court of appeal, district court, city court, and parish court judges based on a rolling five-year average of the Consumer Price Index. The raises are subject to approval by the Louisiana Supreme Court and the Louisiana Judicial Budgetary Control Board, and they will be suspended if insufficient funds are available. The bill also repeals existing provisions related to judicial compensation.
