Courts, compensation of certain judicial officials and district attorneys further provided for

SB 227 amends Alabama law to adjust compensation for judges and district attorneys. It sets a new $140,000 starting salary for newly appointed or elected district attorneys (replacing a previous formula based on circuit judge pay) and removes restrictions on future DA salary increases. The bill also implements automatic 7.5% salary raises for judges after 6, 12, and 18 years of service, and prohibits counties from providing additional pay to circuit or district judges. These changes affect all Alabama judges, district attorneys, and other elected officials whose pay was previously tied to judicial salaries. The bill updates existing salary structures without creating new funding requirements.
