Summary
Summary
The Budget Act of 2016 (Stats. 2016, ch. 318) allocated $25 million to the judicial branch to promote court innovations and efficiencies through the Court Innovations Grant Program. The act directs the Judicial Council to report to the Legislature on the progress of that program and its grant projects no later than September 30 each year. The Budget Act of 2020 (Stats. 2020, ch. 7) authorized encumbrances or expenditures until December 31, 2020, extending the timeline from the program’s original sunset date of June 30, 2020. The Court Innovations Grant Program provided not only an opportunity for trial and appellate courts to innovate, but for the branch to establish a framework for encouraging, supporting, and replicating innovations across the California courts. This final report to the Legislature, included as Attachment A to this report, discusses the implemented innovations, the project teams’ learning experiences, and how these projects are informing branchwide opportunities.
