Subject to the provisions of subsections 2, 4 and 10, in a county whose population is 700,000 or more, the judge of each district court may appoint a deputy marshal for the court instead of a bailiff. In each case, the bailiff or deputy marshal serves at the pleasure of the judge he or she serves.

2.

In all judicial districts where there is more than one judge, there may be a number of bailiffs or deputy marshals at least equal to the number of judges, and in any judicial district where a circuit judge has presided for more than 50 percent of the regular judicial days of the prior calendar year, there may be one additional bailiff or deputy marshal, each bailiff or deputy marshal to be appointed by the joint action of the judges. If the judges cannot agree upon the appointment of any bailiff or deputy marshal within 30 days after a vacancy occurs in the office of bailiff or deputy marshal, then the appointment must be made by a majority of the board of county commissioners.

5.

The compensation of each bailiff or deputy marshal for his or her services must be fixed by the board of county commissioners of the county and his or her salary paid by the county wherein he or she is appointed, the same as the salaries of other county officers are paid.

6.

The board of county commissioners of the respective counties shall allow the salary stated in subsection 5 as other salaries are allowed to county officers, and the county auditor shall draw his or her warrant for it, and the county treasurer shall pay it.

7.

The provisions of this section do not:

(a)

Authorize the bailiff or deputy marshal to serve any civil or criminal process, except such orders of the court which are specially directed by the court or the presiding judge thereof to him or her for service.

(b)

Except in a county whose population is 700,000 or more, relieve the sheriff of any duty required of him or her by law to maintain order in the courtroom.

8.

If a deputy marshal is appointed for a court pursuant to subsection 1, each session of the court must be attended by the deputy marshal.
