body
Summary
Summary
The Trial Court Budget Advisory Committee recommends the Judicial Council approve a one-time allocation methodology to allocate the 2020-21 Court Interpreters Program (CIP) appropriation, while a workload-based methodology is developed for consideration effective July 1, 2021. Funding shortfalls that began in 2014-15 in the CIP were addressed in prior years by using program savings carryover until depleted in 2018-19, and subsequently by using Trial Court Trust Fund unrestricted fund balance as approved by the Judicial Council.
