(a) General. All newly elected or appointed judges
and attorneys must file with the comptroller's office an IRS Form
W4 indicating their social security number, marital status, and number
of exemptions claimed prior to receiving their first payment.
(b) Date placed on state payroll. If the legislature
is in regular session, the newly appointed judge is placed on the
payroll the day the judge's appointment is confirmed by a two-thirds
vote of the senate or the day the judge takes the oath of office,
whichever is later. If the legislature is not in session, the newly
appointed judge is placed on the payroll on the day the judge took
the oath of office. Each newly elected or appointed attorney must
indicate to the comptroller's office the date the oath of office was
taken and the attorney will be placed on the payroll as of that date.
(c) Judge's retirement, resignation, or acceptance
of another office. When a judge or attorney retires, resigns, or accepts
another office, the judge or attorney must notify the comptroller's
office.
