This bill amends sections 145.051 and 145.09 of the Florida Statutes, which pertain to the salaries of local government officials, specifically the clerks of the circuit court, county comptrollers, and supervisors of elections. The bill revises the base salaries for these positions based on the population of their respective counties. Notably, the base salary for each population group has been increased, with the minimum salary for Group I rising from $21,250 to $26,250, and similar increases for the other groups, culminating in a new maximum salary of $41,475 for counties with populations over 1,000,000, up from $36,475.

The effective date for these changes is set for October 1, 2026. The bill aims to ensure that the compensation for these local officials is more reflective of the population they serve, thereby potentially improving the recruitment and retention of qualified individuals in these roles.
