This legislative bill amends section 24-201.01 of the Revised Statutes Cumulative Supplement, 2024, to update the salary structure for the Chief Justice and judges of the Supreme Court in Nebraska. The previous salary figures for July 1, 2022, and July 1, 2023, have been deleted, and new salary amounts have been inserted. Specifically, starting July 1, 2024, the salary will be set at $225,055.35, followed by increases to $228,431.18 on July 1, 2025, and $231,857.65 on July 1, 2026.

The bill also establishes that the Chief Justice and judges cannot hold other public offices or accept compensated appointments during their terms. It will become operative on July 1, 2025, and the original section 24-201.01 is repealed. Additionally, the bill declares an emergency, allowing it to take effect immediately upon passage and approval.
