b. In lieu of an annual salary, a reporter employed on a part-time or temporary basis as provided in this chapter may be paid such a per diem fee rate as may be fixed from time to time by the Supreme Court. Such per diem fees shall be paid by the State upon certification of the Administrative Director of the Courts.
