H.B. No. 3104 amends the Government Code to establish new salary provisions for bailiffs appointed by the judges of the 341st and 406th district courts in Webb County. The bill specifies that each bailiff is entitled to a salary set by the commissioners court, which must be commensurate with the salaries of bailiffs in other courts with similar duties. Additionally, the salary must not exceed that of the chief deputy sheriff of the county. The funding for these salaries will come from the county's general fund.

The bill also modifies the language regarding the notification process for salary compensation, removing the requirement for the judge to notify the commissioners court in writing about the bailiff's salary. Instead, it clarifies that the salary is determined by the commissioners court or the judge, as applicable. This legislation is set to take effect on September 1, 2025.
