2018 SESSION
18102484DBe it enacted by the General Assembly of Virginia:
1. That §19.2-46.1 of the Code of Virginia is amended and reenacted as follows:
§ 19.2-46.1. Salaries to be fixed by the Executive Secretary; limitations; mileage allowance.
Salaries of magistrates and any other personnel in the office of the magistrate shall be fixed by the Executive Secretary of the Supreme Court. Such salaries shall be fixed by the Executive Secretary at least annually at such time as he deems proper and as soon as practicable thereafter certified to the Comptroller.
In determining the salary of any magistrate, the Executive Secretary shall consider the work load of and territory and population served by the magistrate and such other factors he deems relevant.
The governing body of any county or city may add to the fixed
compensation of magistrates such amount as the governing body may appropriate
with the total amount not to exceed 50 percent of the amount paid by the
Commonwealth to magistrates provided such
additional compensation was in effect on June 30, 2008, for such magistrates
and any magistrate receiving such additional compensation continues in office
without a break in service. However, the total amount of additional
compensation may not be increased after June 30, 2008. No additional amount paid by a local governing body
shall be chargeable to the Executive Secretary of the Supreme Court, nor shall
it remove or supersede any authority, control or supervision of the Executive
Secretary or Committee on District Courts.
