An Act providing equity within the Judicial Branch

This bill (HD 2384) adjusts salary percentages for judicial clerks across Massachusetts courts. It increases the salary for 12 judicial roles - from clerks in the Supreme Judicial Court down to Housing Court clerks - from 81.57% to 84.57% of the Chief Justice’s salary. Specific dollar amounts for some positions are also raised (e.g., from $232,101 to $252,101 for certain roles). The changes apply to all clerks and registers in the judicial branch and take effect July 1, 2025. The bill is a technical salary adjustment, not a substantive policy change.
