Summary

Existing law requires the Judicial Council to adopt a budget and allocate funding for trial courts. Existing law requires the Judicial Council, when allocating funding to trial courts, to set a preliminary allocation, which includes an estimate of available trial court reserves as of June 30 of the prior fiscal year. Existing law requires each court's preliminary allocation to be offset by the amount of reserves in excess of the amount authorized to be carried over. Existing law authorizes a trial court to carry over unexpended funds in an amount not to exceed 1% of the court's operating budget from the prior fiscal year. Existing law exempts certain funds from the calculation of the 1% authorized to be carried over from the prior fiscal year. This bill would repeal the 1% limitation described above, and, instead, would allow the Judicial Council to authorize a trial court to carry unexpended funds over from one fiscal year to the next. The bill would also make conforming changes.
