retirement; judges; elected officials

SB 1712 amends Arizona law to adjust how county court fees are distributed, specifically increasing funding for the elected officials' retirement plan. It directs county treasurers to send 21.91% of certain court fees (for counties over 500,000 population) or 14.09% (for smaller counties) to the retirement fund, instead of the previous allocation. This change directly affects county treasurers who manage these fees and ensures more consistent funding for the retirement system serving state-elected officials. The bill does not alter retirement benefits or eligibility but modifies fee distribution mechanics to support the fund.
