Private Acts of 1963 Chapter 184

SECTION 1. That in all counties of this state having a population of not less than 9,570 nor more than 9,575, such county may provide for compensating an assistant to the Circuit Court Clerk as follows:

In the event the Circuit Judge of such County, under the provisions of Sections 8-2001 et seq. of the Tennessee Code Annotated, enters an order allowing an Assistant to such Clerk and fixes the amount of the salary therefor, payment to such Assistant shall be made in equal monthly installments by warrants drawn on the County Trustee and signed by the County Judge or Chairman of the County Court from surplus fees and costs turned in to the County General Fund from the Circuit Court Clerk, over and above the salary allowed him by law. Provided, however, that if such surplus funds are not sufficient to pay such Assistant the amount fixed as his salary by the Circuit Judge as above provided, the same shall be supplemented to such extent from the general funds of the County and the County Court of such County shall appropriate sufficient funds therefor.

SECTION 2. That this Act shall have no effect unless the same be approved by a twothirds (2/3) vote of the Quarterly County Court of any County to which this Act applies. The presiding officer of such body shall proclaim its approval or non-approval and certify the same to the Secretary of State.

SECTION 3. That this Act shall take effect from and after its passage, the public welfare requiring it.

Passed: March 15, 1963.
