A BILL TO BE ENTITLED
AN ACT

To amend an Act placing the judge of the probate court and the clerk of the Superior Court of Catoosa County, Georgia, on an annual salary in lieu of fees, approved February 20, 1959 (Ga. L. 1959, p. 2047), as amended, so as to increase the clerical help allowance of the clerk of the Superior Court of Catoosa County; to repeal conflicting laws; and for other purposes.

BE IT ENACTED BY THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY OF GEORGIA:

SECTION 1.

An Act placing the judge of the probate court and the clerk of the Superior Court of Catoosa County, Georgia, on an annual salary in lieu of fees, approved February 20, 1959 (Ga. L. 1959, p. 2047), as amended, is amended by revising Section 3 as follows:

"SECTION 3.

The maximum allowance to be paid for clerical help shall be:

Clerical help for the judge of probate court $ 130,000.00

Clerical help for the clerk of the superior court $ 275,000.00

All allowances payable under this Act shall be payable directly by the county treasurer to the person or persons performing such clerical help. No person performing such clerical help for the judge of the probate court shall be related to said judge closer than the fifth degree of consanguinity or affinity. The allowances provided in this section shall be used to employ full-time clerical help. In no event shall such allowances be used to pay bonuses to full-time employees or part-time clerical help. In the event the maximum allowance for clerical help is not needed for such purposes, then the unused portion thereof shall remain as a part of the general funds of the county."

SECTION 2.

All laws and parts of laws in conflict with this Act are repealed.
