The bill amends the existing "Court Clerks Incentive Pay" law to extend the incentive pay program to all full-time clerks of the supreme, superior, family, district courts, and the traffic tribunal, provided they meet the eligibility requirements outlined in the bill. The previous stipulation that only clerks in position as of July 5, 1994, were eligible has been removed, allowing for broader inclusion of current clerks.

Additionally, the bill establishes a new section regarding eligibility, which now focuses on acquiring necessary degrees rather than previous enrollment or credit accumulation by a specific date. The bill also repeals the previous provision that granted additional credit for clerks who earned a master's degree in public administration, which was set at an annual payment of $750.

The changes aim to modernize the incentive pay structure and ensure that it applies to a wider range of court clerks. The act is set to take effect immediately upon passage.
