This legislation allows the chief clerk of the probate court or other clerk, if the probate judge has not appointed a chief clerk, to serve as probate judge in uncontested cases so long as the chief clerk has served as probate court clerk for at least five years or has been an attorney for three years.  This bill also includes a provision that a county is not required to pay a local supplement to a probate judge beyond the term of office for which the supplement was approved.
