Pay parity for Putnam County sessions judges

Beginning September 1, 2030, Putnam County general sessions judges are paid the same annual salary as the county’s circuit court judges and chancellors. Pay is adjusted every September 1 under Tennessee law (Sections 8-23-103(2) and 16-15-5003) and is paid in 12 equal installments. The law takes effect only if the Putnam County legislative body approves it by a two-thirds vote and certifies the result to the Secretary of State. If you are an incumbent, your salary does not change before your current term ends. The law also repeals earlier local acts that conflict with these pay rules.
