20-1a15. Judicial branch nonjudicial salary
adjustment fund; authorized uses of moneys credited to fund.
(a) There is hereby established in
the state treasury the judicial
branch nonjudicial salary adjustment fund.
(b) All moneys credited to the judicial branch nonjudicial salary
adjustment fund shall be used for compensation of nonjudicial
officers and employees of the district courts, court of appeals and
the supreme court and shall not be expended for compensation of
judges or justices of the judicial branch. Moneys in the fund shall be
used only to pay for that portion of the cost of salaries and wages
of nonjudicial personnel of the judicial branch, including associated
employer contributions, which shall not exceed the difference
between the amount of expenditures that would be required under
the judicial branch pay plan for nonjudicial personnel in effect prior to
the effective date of this act and the amount of expenditures required
under the judicial branch pay plan for nonjudicial personnel after the
cost-of-living adjustments and the adjustments for upgrades in pay
rates for nonjudicial personnel approved by the chief justice of the
Kansas supreme court for fiscal year 2009. For fiscal years
commencing on and after June 30, 2010, moneys in such fund
shall be used only for the amount attributable to maintenance of the
judicial branch pay plan for nonjudicial personnel for such adjustments
and upgrades approved by the chief justice of the supreme court for
fiscal year 2009.
(c) All expenditures from the judicial branch nonjudicial salary
adjustment fund shall be made in accordance with appropriation
acts and upon warrants of the director of accounts and reports issued
pursuant to payrolls approved by the chief justice of the Kansas
supreme court or by a person or persons designated by the chief
justice.
