The purpose of this bill is to immediately increase salaries of those magistrates and their staffs whose salaries were reduced as a result of the 2010 census to precensus amounts. The bill also requires the Joint Committee on Government and Finance to request a study by the National Center for State Courts on the weighted caseload, salaries, jurisdiction, and apportionment of the magistrate court system. The bill also requires the Supreme Court of Appeals of West Virginia to present recommendations regarding the allocation or assignment of magistrates to improve the magistrate process and more equitably distribute the magistrate court resources. The bill provides an internal effective date. The bill provides that the salary increases are retroactive to January 1, 2013. The bill also requires pay equalization for all magistrates and certain magistrate employees beginning January 1, 2017.
