Court, which shall distribute such awards in annual lump sum
payments to the Clerks of the Circuit Court in all counties.
This annual award, and any other award or stipend paid out of
State funds to the Clerks of the Circuit Court, shall not
affect any other compensation provided by law to be paid to
Clerks of the Circuit Court.
(e) Also in addition to the compensation provided by the
county board, Clerks of the Circuit Court in counties in
which one or more State correctional institutions are located
shall receive reimbursement in the amount of $10,000 per year
for one employee to perform services in connection with the
State correctional institution, payable monthly from the

additional staff is employed. This subsection (e) shall not
apply to staff added before November 29, 1990.
For purposes of this subsection (e), "State correctional
institution" means any facility of the Department of
Corrections, including without limitation adult facilities,
juvenile facilities, pre-release centers, community
correction centers, and work camps.
(f) No county board may reduce or otherwise impair the
compensation payable from county funds to a Clerk of the
Circuit Court if the reduction or impairment is the result of
the Clerk of the Circuit Court receiving an award or stipend
payable from State funds.
