respect to all aspects of judicial compensation so
as to ensure that the judicial compensation struc-
ture is adequate to attract highly-qualified per-
sons to the Bench and to enable judges to contin-
ue to serve there without unreasonable economic
hardship. The Commission consists of seven
members appointed by the Governor for six-year
terms. No more than three members may be indi-
viduals admitted to practice law in the State. In
nominating and appointing members, special con-
sideration is given to individuals who have a
knowledge of compensation practices and finan-
cial matters. Two members are appointed from a
list of at least five nominees submitted by the
President of the Senate, two members are
appointed from a list of at least five nominees
submitted by the Speaker of the House of Dele-
gates, one member is appointed from a list of at
least three nominees submitted by the Maryland
State Bar Association, Inc., and two members are
appointed at large. Members elect their own
chairperson, and they serve without compensa-
tion.
The Commission is to make written recommen-
dations concerning judicial salaries and pensions
to the Governor and General Assembly not later
than November 1, 1980, and the Governor is to
include in his budget for the next fiscal year
funding sufficient to implement those recommen-
dations. Beginning in 1982 and every two years
thereafter, the Commission is to review the sala-
ries and pensions of judges, and at least every
four years from 1980 the Commission must sub-
mit its recommendations to the Governor and
General Assembly. The salary recommendations
made by the Commission are to be introduced as
a joint resolution in each house of the General
Assembly not later than the fifteenth day of the
session after they have been received. The Gener-
al Assembly may not amend the joint resolution
to increase the recommended salaries, and if it
fails to adopt or amend the joint resolution with-
in fifty days after its introduction the salaries
recommended by the Commission shall apply.
Commission recommendations with respect to
pensions shall be introduced by the presiding offi-
cers of the Senate and the House of Delegates in
the form of legislation, and shall become effective
only if passed by both houses.
