HB 935 provides that any judge of the Gwinnett County Recorder’s Court who retires after serving for ten or more years shall become a senior judge of the court. If the temporary assistance of an additional judge is needed, the court’s chief judge may write a request to a senior judge to serve as a court judge. This written request for assistance must be made to senior judges before appointing a judge pro hac vice. If accepted, the senior judge shall receive a compensation determined by the court’s chief judge. The bill further revises that the court clerk shall be appointed by a majority vote of the court’s judges and that a judge pro hac vice shall be paid a rate of $400.00 per day by the county’s governing authority. |
