AZ HB2254

Amends Arizona Revised Statutes section 22-125 to modify how justice of the peace compensation is calculated based on judicial productivity credits.

Changes the judicial productivity credit formula by adding petitions for protective orders (divided by 5) as a new category and modifying traffic violation counts to include violations under title 5, chapter 3, article 10, title 28, chapter 4, article 3, or section 28-8282 (divided by 5 instead of 10).

Transfers responsibility for calculating judicial productivity credits from county boards of supervisors to the Arizona Supreme Court, which must perform annual calculations for the twelve-month period ending June 30 and report results within 120 days.

Establishes an annual salary adjustment schedule effective January 1 each year, replacing the previous two-year adjustment cycle that began in 1983.

Adds protective order petition definitions and clarifies that filing counts are determined the same manner for juveniles as for adults; prohibits salary reductions during a justice of the peace's term except when a precinct is divided.
