Maryland HB822 sets the maximum salary for circuit court clerks and registers of wills based on county population and office fees.

Maryland HB822 amends the salary structure for circuit court clerks and registers of wills. The Board of Public Works sets the maximum annual salary for these positions, considering the county's population and the office's fees and taxes. Any salary changes during a term do not apply to the current officeholder but take effect at the start of the next term. If office fees are insufficient to cover expenses and salaries, the deficit is funded by taxes remitted by the register, with the Comptroller making up any shortfall from excess fees of other registers.
