Sir:
Your Committee on Judiciary, to which was referred S.B. No. 1526, S.D. 2, entitled:
"A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO JUDICIARY,"
begs leave to report as follows:
The purpose of this bill is to rectify the inadvertent omission of the salaries of the Administrative Director of the Courts (AD) and Deputy Administrative Director of the Courts (Deputy AD), from the salaries reviewed by the Commission on Salaries (Commission), by statutorily establishing the maximum amounts of the two salaries. Specifically, this bill:
(1) Sets the maximum salary of the AD at 80 percent of the salary of the Chief Justice; and
(2) Sets the maximum salary of the Deputy AD at 95 percent of the salary of the AD.
The Judiciary testified in support of this bill.
Your Committee has amended this bill by setting the salaries of the AD and Deputy AD as follows, effective July 1, 2008:
(1) The salary of the AD shall be identical to that of the Administrative Director of the State (also known as the Governor's Chief of Staff); and
(2) The salary of the Deputy AD shall be identical to the maximum salary for a deputy department head.
Your Committee has also made technical, nonsubstantive amendments for clarity, consistency, and style.
As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your Committee on Judiciary that is attached to this report, your Committee is in accord with the intent and purpose of S.B. No. 1526, S.D. 2, as amended herein, and recommends that it pass Second Reading in the form attached hereto as S.B. No. 1526, S.D. 2, H.D. 1, and be referred to the Committee on Labor & Public Employment.
Respectfully submitted on behalf of the members of the Committee on Judiciary,
