Committee clears bill aligning law-clerk pay practices with statute
Summary
House Bill 1222, intended to reconcile statutory language with long-standing practice for Supreme Court and Court of Appeals law clerks and to require inter-court notice before pay-grade requests, passed the Senate Judiciary Committee by voice vote.
House Bill 1222, presented to the Senate Judiciary Committee, clarifies statutory language governing law clerks for the Supreme Court and Court of Appeals and confirms that existing staffing (two law clerks) is unchanged. The sponsor said the bill brings statute into alignment with practice and includes a provision that the courts give timely notice to each other before requesting a pay-grade change.
The sponsor told the committee the language was reviewed with the courts and their leadership, and that no increase in positions is created. After brief discussion and a motion to do pass, the committee approved the bill by voice vote.
