The proposed bill amends the existing "Court Clerks’ Incentive Pay" law to expand the incentive pay program to include 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 a broader inclusion of current clerks. Additionally, the bill introduces a new section that establishes eligibility criteria for the incentive pay plan, which requires clerks to acquire specific educational qualifications.

Furthermore, the bill repeals the previous provision that granted additional credit for clerks who earned a master's degree in public administration, which provided an annual payment of $750. The effective date of the new provisions will be upon passage of the bill, ensuring that the changes take immediate effect. Overall, this legislation aims to modernize and enhance the incentive pay structure for court clerks, promoting further education and professional development within the judiciary.
