Title
Court Facilities | Use of Air Filtration Devices During Wildfires (Action Required)
body
Summary
The Trial Court Facility Modification Advisory Committee recommends adoption of a policy that governs responsibility for the cost of providing air filtration devices and their use at trial court facilities during wildfire events and other appropriate mitigation measures to protect court users, court staff, and judicial officers. The recommendation is based on a study performed where the data did not indicate a consistent improvement of air quality when operating the air filtration devices, and the need to make the best and most cost-effective use of limited judicial branch facilities funds.
Recommendation
The Trial Court Facility Modification Advisory Committee recommends that the Judicial Council, effective May 13, 2022, adopt the Judicial Council Policy on the Use of Air Filtration Devices During Wildfires.
