Section 216-B. Salary increments

1. A member whose annual basic salary is
  prescribed by subparagraph one of paragraph  a  of  subdivision  two  of
  section  two  hundred  fifteen of this article shall receive the minimum
  salary of his position plus the number of increments  which  corresponds
  to  his  years of service in such position, subject to the provisions of
  this section, provided, however, that  effective  July  first,  nineteen
  hundred  seventy-one initial employment in the position of trooper shall
  be at the training rate and progression of such  members  or  any  other
  troopers  paid  at  such  training  rate  to  the  minimum salary of the
  position of trooper shall be by means of an annual  increment  equal  to
  the  difference  between the training rate and the minimum salary of the
  position  of  trooper  subject  to  the  conditions  described  in  this
  subdivision,   except   that  on  or  after  the  date  that  the  first
  collectively  negotiated  agreement  entered  into  after  April  first,
  nineteen  hundred  eighty-one  pursuant to article fourteen of the civil
  service law covering the unit consisting of troopers in the division  of
  state  police is executed in writing, initial employment in the position
  of trooper shall be at training rate one and, such members shall advance
  to training rate two effective on the first  day  of  the  next  payroll
  period  following  the  member's  anniversary date of appointment to the
  division  of  state  police,  subject  to  the  provisions  of   section
  forty-four  of  the  state finance law, provided the member's service in
  the  position  has  been   satisfactory   in   the   judgment   of   the
  superintendent,  and  further progression of such members to the minimum
  salary of the position of  trooper  shall  be  by  means  of  an  annual
  increment  subject  to  the  conditions  described  in this subdivision.
  Annual increments shall become effective on the first day  of  the  next
  payroll period following the member's anniversary date of appointment to
  the  division  of  state  police, subject, however, to the provisions of
  section forty-four of the state finance law. Except as provided below, a
  member shall be eligible to receive an increment in such position on the
  first day of the next payroll period following the member's  anniversary
  date  of  appointment  to  the  division  of  state police, provided his
  service in the position or positions  held  by  the  member  during  the
  previous   year   has   been   satisfactory   in  the  judgment  of  the
  superintendent. No member shall receive an increment which would  result
  in the member receiving an annual salary in excess of the maximum salary
  prescribed  for  his position, or the amount to which he may be entitled
  pursuant to subdivisions two and five of this  section.  Notwithstanding
  the  foregoing provisions of this subdivision, members who are initially
  employed in the position of trooper on or after October first,  nineteen

  subject to the provisions of section forty-four of the state finance law
  and shall be payable provided the member's service has been satisfactory
  in  the  judgment  of  the superintendent. Notwithstanding the foregoing
  provisions of this subdivision,  on  and  after  April  first,  nineteen
  hundred ninety-six, members who are undergoing their initial training at
  the  New  York  state  police  academy shall receive the academy trainee

  advancement of such members to subsequent steps shall be by means of  an
  annual  increment to be effective on the first day of the payroll period
  following their completion of each  additional  year  of  service;  such
