This bill also makes the following changes to the method for establishing the

judges:
1. Requires that a county board of supervisors may change the compensation
of county supervisors only by enacting an ordinance for that purpose at least three
months before, but not more than six months before, the next due date for filing
nomination papers for the office of supervisor.
2. Provides that the county executive, county administrator, or administrative
coordinator of each county may elect to appoint a commission, composed of five
people who are not holding a federal, state, or local elective office, that must make
recommendations to the county board concerning the compensation for each county
elective officer other than supervisor and circuit judge. The bill requires the county
board to enact an ordinance establishing that the compensation for county elective
officers other than circuit judges and supervisors is identical to the compensation
