Sec. 15. When fixing the compensation of county officers under this title, the county fiscal body shall fix:
(1) compensation for the coroner as if the coroner is licensed to practice as a physician in Indiana; and
(2) compensation for the coroner as if the coroner is not licensed to practice as a physician in Indiana.
The compensation fixed under subdivision (1) must be one and one-half (1 1/2) times that fixed under subdivision (2). The county fiscal body shall then determine whether or not the coroner is a licensed physician and shall fix the coroner's compensation in the proper amount.
