These actions will have a County-wide net impact of $0 and they do not alter the budget constraining the expenditure of local revenues duly adopted by the Board pursuant to A.R.S. 42-17105. The State legislature passed HB2897 in the most recent session, which increased the Judges salary to $200,000 over a two-year period. The first increase to $190,000 is effective on 1/1/2025. This also impacts Court Commissioners who earn 90% of a Judges salary and Justices of the Peace who earn 70% of a Judges salary. Maricopa County is responsible for paying 50% of the Judges salary and 100% of the Court Commissioners and Justice of the Peace salaries. (C-18-25-045-X-00)
