Under current law, a retired member of the judicial division may
perform assigned judicial duties without pay for not less than 60 or 90 days each year. Such a member of the judicial division will receive a benefit increase equal to not less than 20% or more than 30% of the current monthly salary of judges serving in the same position held by the
retiree at the time of retirement.
The bill changes the amount of time that a retired member of the
judicial division may perform assigned judicial duties without pay and the amount of a benefit increase such a judge will receive. The bill specifies that a retired member of the judicial division may perform assigned judicial duties without pay for 20, 30, 60, or 90 days each year and will receive a benefit increase equal to 6.7%, 10%, 20%, or no more than 30% respectively of the current monthly salary of judges serving in the same position held by the retiree at the time of retirement.
Additionally, under current law, within 5 years after retirement, a
retired member of the judicial division who did not enter into an agreement prior to retirement to perform assigned judicial duties without pay during retirement may enter into such a written agreement within 30 days prior to each anniversary date of retirement. The bill removes this requirement.
