Approved April 2, 1968

Be it enacted by the General Assembly of Virginia:

1. That § 16.1-143.3 of the Code of Virginia be amended and reenacted
as follows:

§ 16.1-143.3. The salaries of the judges and associate judges of a
court established under § 16.1-143.1 shall be fixed annually by the com-
mittee created under § 14.1-40 at an amount not in excess of the amount
paid judges of courts of record and the salaries of the clerk, deputy clerk
and other employees of said courts shall be fixed by the same committee.
The salaries of such probation officers as may be appointed shall be fixed
by the committee created under § 14-50 (§ 14.1-40) at an amount within
the ranges established by the Department. Each substitute judge of any
such court shall receive for his services per diem compensation equivalent
to one twenty-fifth of the monthly salary of the judge of his court in the
same manner as such committee pays substitute judges for other courts
not of record. All salaries payable under this section shall be paid by the
State out of the appropriation for criminal charges.

__ The cities, counties or combination thereof participating in the estab-
lishment of a court under § 16.1-143.1 may, at any time and upon mutual
agreement, supplement the salary of any judge or associate judge of such
court, and such supplementation shall not affect the salary paid to such
judge by the State. )
