En lenguaje claro
The State Court of Cobb County was created by a 1964 state law that has been amended several times, including setting judicial pay. This bill changes two pay figures in that law. It raises the chief judge's additional annual compensation from $10,892.55 to $11,328.25, and it raises the annual salary of judges on Division 1 of the court from $208,782.88 to $217,134.20. The bill does not change any other duties, powers, or procedures of the court. It also repeals any existing laws that conflict with these new pay figures, which is standard language ensuring the new amounts take effect without contradiction from earlier law.
