5. (a) The county fiscal body shall establish a
salary schedule in which the salary of a county assessor who has
attained a level three certification under IC 6-1.1-35.5 is at least one
thousand five hundred dollars ($1,500) more than the salary of a county
assessor who has a level two certification. A salary schedule
established under this subsection may take into account salary
adjustments retained under subsection (c). If a county assessor who
takes office with a level two certification attains a level three
certification not later than January 1 of the third year of the county
assessor's term of office, the county assessor is entitled to be paid the
salary of a county assessor who has attained a level three certification,
beginning on the date the county assessor attains the level three
certification.
(b) The county fiscal body shall establish a salary schedule in which
the salary of an elected township assessor of the county who has
attained a level three certification under IC 6-1.1-35.5 is at least one
thousand five hundred dollars ($1,500) more than the salary of an
elected township assessor who has a level two certification. A salary
schedule established under this subsection may take into account salary
adjustments retained under subsection (c). If a township assessor who
takes office with a level two certification attains a level three
certification not later than January 1 of the third year of the township
assessor's term of office, the township assessor is entitled to be paid the
salary of a township assessor who has attained a level three
certification, beginning on the date the township assessor attains the
level three certification.
(c) Beginning January 1, 2016, the following apply:
(1) The one thousand dollar ($1,000) additional annual
compensation paid under section 3(b) of this chapter (as it read on
December 31, 2015) to a county assessor or an elected township
assessor who has attained a level two or level three certification
under IC 6-1.1-35.5 shall be paid as part of the annual
compensation of the assessor.

It is the intent of this subsection that after December 31, 2015, there
not be a reduction in the annual compensation paid to an individual

has not attained a level two or a level three certification, beginning on
the date the township assessor attains the level two or level three
certification. A salary schedule established under this subsection may
take into account salary adjustments retained under subsection (c).
