Bill Summary
Local Government
Prior to 2015, counties were classified into primary categories I to VII for purposes of determining the salaries of county officers. Four subcategories, A to D, were added to each primary category in 2015, which would result in the following percentage increases for terms beginning on or after January 1, 2016:
- Subcategory A: 30% increase;
- Subcategory B: 20% increase;
- Subcategory C: 10% increase; and
- Subcategory D: No increase.
All counties were classified in subcategory A of their respective primary categories, which would have resulted in a 30% increase for all county officers in the state. The act modifies the classifications of certain counties, resulting in smaller increases for officers from these counties.
(Note: This summary applies to this bill as enacted.)
