South Dakota judges get pay raises under this bill: all Supreme Court justices and circuit judges receive a 6% salary increase on July 1, 2021, followed by another 6% increase on July 1, 2022, with each year's raise calculated on top of the previous year's salary. These raises are separate from any other across-the-board pay adjustments judges may receive.
This bill does not directly amend codified state law.
