§ 68220 County Judicial Benefits Continuation

Key Takeaways

  • •Judges who got extra benefits (like money or perks) from their county before July 1, 2008, keep getting those benefits the same way.
  • •A county can stop giving these extra benefits, but they have to warn the judges and the court boss 180 days (about 6 months) before they do.
  • •If the county stops the benefits, it doesn’t affect judges who are currently serving—they keep getting them until their term ends or they leave office.
  • •The county can choose to give benefits to all judges in the county if they want.

Example

A county has been giving judges extra money for years. Now, they want to stop because they’re running low on funds.

The county can’t just stop giving the money right away. They have to tell the judges and the court boss 6 months before they stop. Even then, the judges who are still working keep getting the money until their term ends or they leave.

§ 68220 County Judicial Benefits Continuation

(a) Judges of a court whose judges received supplemental judicial benefits provided by the county or court, or both, as of July 1, 2008, shall continue to receive supplemental benefits from the county or court then paying the benefits on the same terms and conditions as were in effect on that date. (b) A county may terminate its obligation to provide benefits under this section upon providing the Administrative Director of the Courts and the impacted judges with 180 days’ written notice. The termination shall not be effective as to any judge during his or her current term while that judge continues to serve as a judge in that court or, at the election of the county, when that judge leaves office. The county is also authorized to elect to provide benefits for all judges in the county. (Added by Stats. 2009, 2nd Ex. Sess., Ch. 9, Sec. 2. Effective May 21, 2009.)
