§ 131.865 Compensation of special officers

Here's a plain English summary of this rule:

When a court appoints a special officer to fill in for a regular officer, that special officer gets paid the same amount as the regular officer would earn. The pay covers only the time the special officer actually serves in that role.

The special officer also gets paid the same way the regular officer would be paid. This means the payment method does not change just because someone different is doing the job. The rule keeps things fair by making sure special officers are not paid less, or paid differently, just because they are filling in on a temporary basis.
