Assembly Bill 380 amends sections 757.91 and 757.95 of the Wisconsin statutes to establish that any suspension imposed by the supreme court on a judge or court commissioner, whether as a temporary measure pending final determination of misconduct proceedings or as a disciplinary sanction, must be without pay. This change aims to ensure that judges facing allegations of misconduct or permanent disability do not receive compensation during their suspension.

The bill reinforces the authority of the supreme court to discipline judges and court commissioners for misconduct or disability, while also clarifying the financial implications of such suspensions. By mandating that suspensions be without pay, the legislation seeks to uphold accountability within the judiciary and align disciplinary actions with the seriousness of the allegations being investigated.
