2-205.
(a) (1) It is the intent of this section that each register shall receive a fair
and adequate compensation for the effort and duties required of the register by the
register's office.
(2) The volume and character of work done by the register shall be in
comparison to the salary fixed by the Board of Public Works for each of the other
registers.
(b) (1) Each register is entitled to receive an annual salary of not less than
$6,000 and not more than $75,000, to be determined in each instance by the Board of
Public Works:
(2) In determining the annual salary of the register, the Board of Public
Works shall be guided in the exercise of its discretion by:
(i) The population of the county determined by the last official
United States census;
(ii) The dollar volume of total fees [and taxes] collected [and
excess fees turned over to the State] for each of the preceding 5 years by the office of
the register for which the salary is being fixed; and
(iii) Other pertinent data which have relation to the reasonableness
of the salary in relation to the work done and volume handled by the office.
(e) The minimum annual salary for the register in Baltimore City is $12,000.
[(d) (1) The salaries of the registers shall be paid semimonthly from the fees
and receipts of the office, after deducting the expenses of the office.
(2) Expenses include salaries of deputies and clerks, books, stationery,
office supplies, and other necessary and customary expenses of doing business.
(e) (1) If the fees and receipts of the office are insufficient in any fiscal year
to pay all or a part of the expenses of the office and authorized salary of a register, the
deficiency shall be funded from the taxes remitted to the comptroller of the treasury
by the register during that fiscal year. Written authority for the transfer of funds
shall be first obtained from the State Comptroller.
(2) In the event that tax collections for the fiscal year are insufficient,
the Comptroller shall make up the deficit from:
(I) FROM excess fees remitted from all other registers UNDER
2-207(B) OF THIS SUBTITLE; AND
(II) IF THE EXCESS FEES REMITTED FROM ALL OTHER REGISTERS
ARE INSUFFICIENT TO MAKE UP THE DEFICIT, FROM FUNDS PROVIDED IN THE
STATE BUDGET FOR THIS PURPOSE.]
