body
Summary
Senate Bill 170 (Stats. 2021, ch. 240), which amended the Budget Act of 2021, included $7 million ongoing General Fund for the Judicial Council to establish a methodology to allocate the funding to all trial courts to cover the costs associated with increased transcript rates.

Recommendation
The Trial Court Budget Advisory Committee recommends that the Judicial Council approve the $7 million allocation to each trial court as outlined in Attachment A.
