New Florida state budget will increase judicial salaries, repair courthouses, hire more court staff

Florida’s $116.5 billion state budget for the coming year will include about $741 million for the judiciary, an increase of just over $30 million from last year. The money will go to–among other things–3% salary bumps for judges and other judicial branch employees, hiring 101 new FTEs throughout the court system, and improvements to existing courthouses.
