     484.75 Hiring and salary moratorium. 

    A county or a court must not increase the number of 
 referees, judicial officers, court reporters, law clerks, or 
 district administration employees, other than district 
 administration employees in the second or Fourth Judicial 
 District, unless the increase is approved by the Supreme Court.  
 A county or a court must not increase the salaries of these 
 employees without the approval of the Supreme Court, unless the 
 increase is made under a plan adopted before January 30, 1989.  
 The Supreme Court must not approve aggregate performance 
 increases for these employees that exceed an average of five 
 percent.  New positions created after January 30, 1989, must be 
 reflected as change requests in the biennial budget process when 
 these functions are taken over by the state.  Salary limits do 
 not apply to employees covered by chapter 179A.
