§ 33-39-6-8 — Compensation; appearance; travel expenses

(a) The compensation provided in this chapter
for prosecuting attorneys and their deputies is in full for all services
required by law. Prosecuting attorneys shall appear in all courts and in
all cases where the law provides that they shall appear.
(b) Prosecuting attorneys, deputy prosecuting attorneys,
investigators, and other employees of prosecuting attorneys are entitled
to a sum for mileage for the miles necessarily traveled in the discharge
of their duties. The sum for mileage provided by this subsection must:
(1) equal the sum per mile paid to state officers and employees,
with the rate changing each time the state government changes its
rate per mile;
(2) be allowed by the board of county commissioners on a claim
duly filed monthly by the prosecutor, deputy prosecuting
attorneys, investigators, and other employees itemizing the
specific mileage traveled; and
(3) be paid by the county in which the duty arose that necessitated
the travel.
(c) This chapter does not prohibit the payment of other expenses as
may be allowed by law.
(d) If a board of county commissioners does not furnish the
prosecuting attorney with office space, the county council shall
appropriate a reasonable amount of money per year to the prosecuting
attorney for office space.
