House Bill No. by Representative Braud amends R.S. 13:50(3)(b) to include provisions for funding salary increases for judges in Fiscal Year 2024. The bill specifies that any salary increase authorized by the Judicial Compensation Commission for this fiscal year shall be funded by the judiciary, in addition to the previously established funding for Fiscal Year 2020.

The proposed law retains the existing requirement that salary increases for judges must receive prior approval from the Louisiana Supreme Court and the Louisiana Judicial Budgetary Control Board before July 1st of each year. This amendment ensures that the judiciary is responsible for funding any approved salary increases for both fiscal years mentioned.
