§ 2b:7-5.

a. Except as provided in this section, court reporters appointed to serve on a full-time

basis pursuant to this chapter shall receive an annual salary to be fixed from time

to time by the Supreme Court. b. In lieu of an annual salary, a reporter employed on a part-time or temporary basis

as provided in this chapter may be paid such a per diem fee rate as may be fixed from

time to time by the Supreme Court. Such per diem fees shall be paid by the State upon certification of the Administrative

Director of the Courts. c. In addition to salary or per diem fees, a reporter may, upon the certification

of the Director, be reimbursed for necessary travel and other expenses when assigned

to serve in a county other than the one in which the reporter resides. d. Each county shall pay annually to the State Treasurer, in equal quarterly installments,

as its share of reporter expenses for the State fiscal year an amount equal to the

net cost to such county for such expenses for each preceding fiscal year. Such net cost shall include only the amount paid for salaries and expenses of court

reporters in the fiscal year ending June 30, 1948, transcripts furnished to a judge

pursuant to N.J.S.2B:7-4 and employer's contribution to the Public Employees' Retirement System and social

security paid in the fiscal year ending June 30, 1967, which net cost shall be certified

by the Director. e. Every reporter shall be entitled to retain the fees collected for transcripts. All transcript supplies and equipment shall be furnished by the reporter at his

or her own expense. f. Reporters appointed to serve on a full-time basis shall be deemed to be State employees

eligible for membership in the Public Employees' Retirement System; except, however,

that reporters who prior to July 1, 1966, were members of any county employees' retirement

system pursuant to P.L.1943, c. 160 ( C. 43:10-18.1 et seq. ) shall continue therein as county employees for the purposes of that enactment.
