FISCAL NOTE
House Bill 307
Committee: Judiciary Sponsor: Representative Jim Hill
Analyst: Peter Grogan Date: 04/07/2025
House Bill 307 as passed the House of Representatives would create the Speedy Trial Fund in
the State Treasury to fund the compensation of a visiting judge appointed to preside over certain
violent crime cases, along with the other costs associated with the adjudication of such cases, as
provided by this bill. Current law caps the maximum compensation of a judge called into
interim activity status at $39,000 per year ($780 per day for a maximum of 50 days).
Further this bill could increase the obligations of the Office of Attorney General or certain
district attorneys by an undetermined amount dependent on the cost of contracting for court
reporting services to support a visiting judge as allowed by this bill.
