(a) Whenever the rates of compensation of the pay plan for persons in the classified service under the Kansas civil service act are increased for payroll periods chargeable to fiscal years commencing after June 30, 1993, the annual salary of the chief justice of the supreme court, each other justice of the supreme court, the chief judge of the court of appeals, each other judge of the court of appeals, each district judge and each district magistrate judge shall be increased by an amount, adjusted to the nearest dollar, computed by multiplying the average of the percentage increases in all monthly steps of such pay plan by the annual salary of the justice or judge which is being received as provided by law and which is in effect prior to the effective date of such increase in the rates of compensation of the pay plan for persons in the classified service under the Kansas civil service act.(b) If increases in the monthly rates of compensation from step movements of the pay plan for persons in the classified service under the Kansas civil service act are authorized for the fiscal year ending June 30, 1995, or any fiscal year thereafter, the annual salary of the chief justice of the supreme court, each other justice of the supreme court, the chief judge of the court of appeals, each other judge of the court of appeals, each district judge and each district magistrate judge shall be increased by an amount, adjusted to the nearest dollar, computed by multiplying the average percentage increase in the monthly rate of compensation from step movements on the pay plan for persons in the classified service under the Kansas civil service act determined under subsection (c) by the annual salary of the justice or judge which is being received as provided by law and which is in effect prior to the effective date of such increase. The increase in the annual salary of each justice or judge pursuant to this subsection shall take effect on the first day of the first payroll period which is chargeable to the fiscal year in which such step movements on the pay plan are authorized to take effect.(c) For purposes of subsection (b), the average percentage increase in the monthly rate of compensation from step movements on the pay plan for persons in the classified service under the Kansas civil service act shall be equal to the percentage certified by the secretary of administration which equals the estimated average of the percentage increases in all monthly rates of compensation from step movements on the pay plan for persons in the classified service under the Kansas civil service act which are authorized to take effect during the fiscal year in which such step movements on the pay plan are authorized to take effect.(d) If the increase under subsection (a) takes effect on the first day of the first payroll period of the fiscal year, the percentage rate increases determined under subsections (a) and (b) shall be added together and such aggregate percentage increase of compensation under this section shall be used to increase the rate of compensation of each justice or judge instead of applying the increases under subsections (a) and (b) separately.(e) The provisions of this section shall not apply to the annual salary of any district judge nor the salary of any magistrate judge for any payroll period chargeable to the fiscal year ending June 30, 2007. The provisions of this section shall apply to the annual salary of each district judge or magistrate judge for payroll periods chargeable to fiscal years commencing after June 30, 2007.History: L. 1980, ch. 20, § 13; L. 1985, ch. 278, § 21; L. 1986, ch. 115, § 104; L. 1992, ch. 296, § 23; L. 1994, ch. 4, § 1; L. 2006, ch. 195, § 23; June 18.
