Summary

Summary

The Fiscal Planning Subcommittee of the Trial Court Budget Advisory Committee recommends approval of seven amended Trial Court Trust Fund funds to be held on behalf of the trial courts requests totaling $4.6 million from six trial courts. Under the Judicial Council-adopted process, a court may request reduced funding as a result of the court exceeding the 3 percent fund balance cap, to be retained in the Trial Court Trust Fund for the benefit of that court.
