BLY, DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS:

  Section  1. (a) On the first of April of every fourth year, commencing
April 1, 2011, there shall be established for such year a commission  on
judicial compensation to examine, evaluate and make recommendations with
respect  to  adequate levels of compensation and non-salary benefits for
judges and justices of  the  state-paid  courts  of  the  unified  court
system.   In accordance with the provisions of this section, the commis-
sion shall:
  (i) examine the prevailing adequacy of pay levels and non-salary bene-
fits received by the judges and justices of the state-paid courts of the
unified court system and housing judges of the civil court of  the  city
of New York and determine whether any of such pay levels warrant adjust-
ment; and
  (ii)  determine  whether,  for any of the four years commencing on the
first of April of such years, following the year in which the commission
is established, the annual salaries for the judges and justices  of  the
state-paid  courts of the unified court system and housing judges of the
civil court of the city of New York warrant adjustment.
  In discharging its responsibilities under paragraphs (i) and  (ii)  of
this subdivision, the commission shall take into account all appropriate
factors  including,  but  not  limited to: the overall economic climate;
rates of inflation; changes in public-sector  spending;  the  levels  of
compensation  and  non-salary  benefits  received  by  judges, executive
branch officials and legislators of other  states  and  of  the  federal
government;  the levels of compensation and non-salary benefits received
