Okla. Stat. tit. 20, § 20-121.2: Associate District Judges - Salary determination

A. For purposes of determining the salaries of Associate

District Judges, the Federal Decennial Census shall be used to

determine the population of the county.

B. Provided, however, in those counties in which the

population, according to the 1990 Federal Decennial Census, has

fallen below the population threshold for salary determination, the

salary of a sitting Associate District Judge shall not be lowered

below the salary for the population threshold for salary

determination based upon the population according to the 1980

Federal Decennial Census.

C. Provided, however, in those counties in which the

population, according to the 1980 and 1990 Federal Decennial

Censuses, was below the population threshold for salary

determination, but the population rose above the population

threshold for salary determination between the 1980 and 1990 Federal

Decennial Censuses, the salary of an Associate District Judge

continuing in office or initially elected in 1994 shall not be

lowered if the judge or predecessor of the judge received a salary

increase during the time the population of the county rose above the

threshold population. Within forty-five (45) days after the

effective date of this act, any judge who is subject to the

provisions of this subsection and whose salary was reduced shall

receive a one-time payment, in an amount equal to the difference of

the amount of their base pay after the reduction and the amount

their base pay would have been if the reduction had not occurred.
