A bill for an act requiring the supreme court to establish a judicial officer and state court administrator compensation and benefits plan and including effective date provisions.

This bill requires Iowa's Supreme Court to create and maintain a compensation and benefits plan specifically for judicial officers (judges), the state court administrator, and court employees. It mandates that the plan sets salaries and benefits within funds approved by the legislature, replacing previous separate salary-setting processes for judges. The plan must include anti-discrimination protections, sexual harassment policies, and grievance procedures for all covered employees. The bill takes effect June 19, 2026, and applies to all judicial branch staff covered under the new framework.
