Title
Allocations and Reimbursements to Trial Courts | Midyear Reallocation of Pretrial Release Funding (Action Required)
body
Summary
The Trial Court Budget Advisory Committee recommends approving a one-time methodology as outlined in this report for the fiscal year 2025-26 reallocation of pretrial release funding to trial courts with a demonstrated need. This methodology reallocates $194,000 in voluntarily returned, unspent funds and provides it to courts in which their additional funding need could be most fully supported based on the limited amount of funding available.
Recommendation
The Trial Court Budget Advisory Committee recommends that the Judicial Council, effective April 24, 2026, approve a one-time reallocation methodology for fiscal year 2025-26.
