H 5055 Massachusetts House · 194th Legislature (2025-2026)

An Act providing for equity within the Judicial Branch

H 5055 adjusts specific numerical values in several judicial branch statutes to increase funding and salary figures. It raises percentages from 81.57% to 84.57% in multiple sections (affecting judicial compensation calculations) and increases dollar amounts in salary schedules (e.g., $232,101 to $242,101 for certain positions). The bill directly affects judicial branch budgets and employee compensation structures by updating these fixed figures. It takes effect July 1, 2026, with no new policy provisions - only technical numerical adjustments to existing law.
