(2) Commencing July 1, 1990, the chief justice of the supreme court shall establish and maintain, consistent with the provisions of this section and other applicable provisions of law, a personnel plan for district court reporters governing their appointment, promotion, classification, minimum qualifications, compensation, expenses, leave, transfer, lay-off, removal, discipline and other incidents of employment of those district court reporters. The salary schedule promulgated pursuant to the authority conferred in this section shall be of temporary effect and must be ratified by the legislature at the regular legislative session first following its adoption.
Any such salary schedule, or portions thereof, not approved in the above manner shall be rejected, null and void and of no force and effect on July 1 of the year, following submission of such schedule to the legislature. Provided, however, that any such salary schedule, or portions thereof, previously ratified by the legislature in the manner provided for herein shall continue in full force and effect until modified in the manner provided for herein. To the extent possible, the personnel plan shall recognize performance as measured by factors such as productivity, reliability, effectiveness and longevity.
(3) There shall be paid in addition to said salary, to each of the court reporters of the district courts, out of the state treasury, for each term of district court held by the judge thereof, for the trial and disposition of causes and the transaction of business under the laws of the state, in other counties than that in which said court reporter resides, his actual and necessary expenses for traveling and attending each term: provided, however, that no stenographic reporter shall be paid his salary, or any portion thereof, unless he shall have first taken and subscribed an oath that he has prepared the transcript of the testimony on appeal either in a civil or criminal action, or specified portion thereof, in the order in which the copy of the order directing him to prepare the same has been served upon him: provided, however, that the estimated cost of transcribing such transcript shall have been paid to such reporter at the time of the service of the copy of the order upon him.
