State’s Decrease in Its Contribution to Judges’ Health Care Insurance Violated the Compensation Clause of the NYS Constitution

The First Department determined that the state’s decrease in its contribution to the cost of judges’ health care insurance violated the Compensation Clause of the NYS Constitution.  The reduced contribution increased the amounts withheld from judges’ salaries and thereby constituted an unconstitutional decrease in compensation. Bransten v State of New York, 2014 NY Slip Op 03214, 1st Dept 5-6-14
