SB 797 - This act allows senior judges to receive pay for each day of service equal to that of the current daily salary of the office from which they retired. This act caps the total yearly compensation earned by senior judges at the current annual salary of the office from which they retired. Current law caps the salary per day.
The change in language will not affect those senior judges
who work enough days to receive the total current salary as the
cap is still "current annual salary". It will affect those
senior judges who work less than the total as they will now be
able to receive a full day's pay plus their retirement pay.
Currently, they would only receive a full day's pay.
