1. (a) Except as otherwise provided in this
section, the part of the total salary of an official:
(1) paid by the state; and
(2) set under section 6 or 8 of this chapter;
is increased in each state fiscal year in which the general assembly does
not amend the section of law under which the salary is determined to
provide a salary increase for the state fiscal year.
(b) The percentage by which salaries are increased in a state fiscal
year under this section is equal to the statewide average percentage, as
determined by the budget director, by which the salaries of state
employees in the executive branch who are in the same or a similar
salary bracket exceed, for the state fiscal year, the salaries of executive
branch state employees in the same or a similar salary bracket that were
in effect on July 1 of the immediately preceding state fiscal year.
(c) The amount of a salary increase under this section is equal to the
amount determined by applying the percentage increase for the
particular state fiscal year to the salary payable by the state, as
previously adjusted under this section, that is in effect on June 30 of the
immediately preceding state fiscal year. However, a salary increase that
would otherwise occur under this section in the state fiscal year
beginning July 1, 2011, or in the state fiscal year beginning July 1,
2012, shall not occur unless the increase for that state fiscal year is
approved by the chief justice of the supreme court.
(d) An official is not entitled to receive a salary increase under this
section in a state fiscal year in which state employees described in
subsection (b) do not receive a statewide average salary increase.
(e) If a salary increase is required under this section, the budget
director shall augment judicial appropriations, including the line items
for personal services for the supreme court, local judges' salaries, and
prosecuting attorneys' salaries, in the state biennial budget in an
amount sufficient to pay for the salary increase from the sources of
funds determined by the budget director.
