An Act relative to judicial compensation

This bill ties judicial salaries and pensions to the Northeast Region's Consumer Price Index (CPI) starting July 2025. It requires annual adjustments to judges' pay (for active judges under Chapters 211, 211A, and 211B) and retirement pensions (for judges retiring at age 70) based on the CPI change for Urban Workers in the Northeast. All increases will match the CPI percentage change each year after 2025. The bill directly affects current and future Massachusetts judges, as well as retirees receiving pensions under Chapter 32.
