An Act to Tie Judicial Salaries to the Average Judicial Salaries of Other New England States

This bill requires the State Compensation Commission to submit a report by December 1st of every year to the Chief Justice of the Supreme Judicial Court and to the joint standing committees of the Legislature detailing the average salaries of justices and judges in other New England states. The commission must recommend adjustments to Maine judicial salaries to ensure they are at least 80% of the average salaries in those states. The Legislature may then propose bills to implement these recommendations.
