§ 386. Appointment and compensation of court interpreters generally.
The county judge and the district attorney of the county may appoint one
interpreter, who shall act as and be the court interpreter for such
county. Such interpreter shall hold office during the pleasure of the
county judge and district attorney and they shall appoint his successor
in office. Said interpreter shall receive a salary to be fixed by the
board of supervisors of said county, which shall be a charge upon the
county, to be paid monthly, in the same manner as other county officials
are paid. Said interpreter so appointed shall, before entering upon his
duties, file in the office of the county clerk, the constitutional oath
of office. The provisions of this section, however, shall not apply to
the counties of New York, Kings and Queens, nor to any other county in
which the appointment or compensation of court interpreters therein is
governed by a special or local act or by any special provision of a
general act.
