Bill Overview

Analyzed Economic Effects

3 provisions identified: 1 benefits, 1 costs, 1 mixed.

Prosecutors must repay if leaving early

If you take a bonus, you must finish the required service time. If you leave the high-need area early, you must repay the money; if you served part of the time, repayment is pro rata. You have no guaranteed right to a bonus or the maximum amount. Payments depend on available funds and eligibility decisions.

Bonus amounts and caps for prosecutors

During the first five years, your total bonuses are capped at $50,000. After you finish five years, you may get up to $10,000 for each extra two years you keep serving in a qualifying area.

Bonuses for prosecutors in high-need areas

The law creates a bonus program to recruit and keep full-time prosecutors in high-need areas. Beginning November 1, 2026, eligible prosecutors can apply. A committee names the high-need areas, decides who qualifies, and sets payment timing and paperwork. Prosecutors already serving in a named area can join, and everyone starts the first five-year period at the same time. The state creates a revolving fund to pay the bonuses.
