En lenguaje claro
This bill amends the 1964 law that created the State Court of Cobb County, which has been updated several times since, most recently in 2023. It changes the pay for two court staff positions: the clerk and the chief deputy clerk. Under the bill, the chief deputy clerk's salary is set at $135,000 a year, paid monthly from Cobb County funds. The clerk's salary is set at $150,000 a year, also paid in equal monthly installments from county funds. The bill repeals any conflicting laws. It does not change the duties of either office, only the pay rates written into the law that governs the State Court of Cobb County.
