House plan shifts salary setting to Supreme Court
Des Moines Iowa House members consider moving salary setting for judges from the Legislature to the Supreme Court under House File 2409. Rep Gary Worthan says the change is a sea change for an independent judiciary while supporters cite accountability and reduced legislative influence. The proposal aligns with a 5 percent pay raise noted in Branstad’s 2015 budget and targets overall judicial salaries funded from general operating money.
