• Jurisdiction: Indiana
• Art. 32: CIRCUIT COURT CLERKS
• Ch. 2: General Powers and Duties

Text

(a) As used in this section, "training courses"
refers to training courses related to the office of circuit court clerk that
are compiled or developed by the Association of Indiana Counties and
approved by the state board of accounts.
(b) An individual elected to the office of circuit court clerk shall
complete at least:
(1) fifteen (15) hours of training courses within one (1) year; and
(2) forty (40) hours of training courses within three (3) years;
after the individual is elected to the office of circuit court clerk.
(c) An individual first elected to the office of circuit court clerk
shall complete five (5) hours of newly elected official training courses
before the individual first takes the office of circuit court clerk. A
training course that an individual completes under this subsection shall
be counted toward the individual's requirements under subsection (b).
(d) An individual shall fulfill the training requirements established
by subsection (b) for each term to which the individual is elected as
circuit court clerk.
(e) The failure of an individual to complete the training required by
this section does not prevent the individual from taking an office to
which the individual was elected.
(f) This subsection applies only to an individual appointed to fill a
vacancy in the office of circuit court clerk. An individual described in
this subsection may, but is not required to, take training courses
required by subsection (b). If an individual described in this subsection
takes a training course required by subsection (b) for an elected circuit
court clerk, the county shall pay for the training course as if the
individual had been an elected circuit court clerk.
(g) An individual elected to the office of circuit court clerk shall
certify completion of the requirements described in subsection (b)
every year and file the certification with the state board of accounts in
the same manner as the report required in IC 5-11-1-4(a).
