Official statutory text
A. The Board on Judicial Compensation shall meet on the third
Tuesday of September in every odd-numbered year in the
Administrative Office of the Courts, at which meeting the Board
shall review the compensation paid to members of the State Judiciary
and, if necessary, change the compensation. In its review, the
Board shall consider various factors, including judicial
compensation in other states, with an emphasis on states within the
region, the value of comparable services performed in the private
sector, compensation of attorneys in the private and public sectors,
compensation of other state, county and municipal public officials,
and changes in the cost of living. The Board may, at the call of
the chair or upon a majority vote of its membership, hold such
additional meetings as are necessary to carry out its official
duties. Any change in judicial compensation shall be made by the
Board not later than the third Tuesday of November in the odd-
numbered year. Four members of the Board shall constitute a quorum
and a majority vote of the quorum shall be necessary for the Board
to act. If the Board recommends a change in judicial compensation,
notice of such recommendation shall be provided to the Governor, the
President Pro Tempore and the Chair of the Appropriations Committee
of the Senate, and the Speaker and the Chair of the Appropriations
and Budget Committee of the House of Representatives.
B. Any change in judicial compensation, unless rejected or
amended as provided for in Section 3.2 of this title, shall become
effective on July 1 of the following calendar year. Any amendment
passed by a majority vote of each house of the Legislature shall
become effective as provided by the amendment unless vetoed by the
