Explanation of above estimates (including long-range effect):
This bill creates a new Intermediate Court of Appeals consisting of two three-member panels, a northern district and southern district. This bill calls for a salary of $118,000 which is unlikely to remain in place since it is less than the salary of a circuit judge. So this fiscal note reflects the salary of $131,000. This is half the difference between the salary of a circuit court judge and the salary of a supreme court justice.
Salaries & Benefits -- $6,727,500
Physical Facilities -- $1,713,600
Systems & Technology -- $841,325
Administrative Office -- $398,225
Training & Travel Expenses -- $94,000
TOTAL -- $9,774,650.00
Please note that the estimates provided in this fiscal note have been rounded to the nearest whole dollar. Additionally, more specific fiscal information regarding this issue is available upon request.
