Bill: Draft Pay the JOs Act

[HatManMC]

CONGRESS OF THE
COMMONWEALTH OF REDMONT​

---

A BILL TO

PROVIDE BETTER PAY TO JUDICIAL OFFICERS



​

---

The people of the Commonwealth of Redmont, through their elected Representatives in the Congress and the force of law ordained to that Congress by the people through the constitution, do hereby enact the following provisions into law:


PART I — PRELIMINARIES

1. Short Title and Enactment

(1) This Act may be cited as the ‘Pay the JOs Act’

(2) This Act shall be enacted immediately upon its signage.

(3) This Act has been authored by CreeperTD.

(4) This Act has been sponsored by Speaker HatManMC.

(5) This Act has been co-sponsored by Representative rhein_FM.

(6) This Act amends the following acts:

(a) Redmont Economic Standards Act

2. Reasons and Intent

(1) The Courts of Redmont remain overridden by many more court cases than it can reasonably handle, while at the same time not having enough Judicial Officers to fill all its available positions.

(2) The pay for caseloading for Judicial Officers has remained unchanged since the policy for payments for caseloading was first set out in statute in May of 2026, weeks before the wave of new players began, and the dockets became overbloated.

(3) To help retain the current judicial officers, who are experts in their field and irreplaceable, and to entice new judicial officers to show interest in taking positions on the bench, the Commonwealth should increase the pay for the vital work undertaken by its courts.
