Summary

Summary

Pursuant to Government Code section 77203(b), a trial court may carry over unexpended funds in an amount not to exceed 3 percent of the court’s operating budget from the prior fiscal year. The Trial Court Budget Advisory Committee recommends a final one-time allocation reduction adjustment of $13.9 million related to the fund balance cap in 2021-22 and prior-year excluded funds, as required by Government Code section 68502.5(c)(2)(A), which nets to $1.5 million after adjusting for $12.4 million in reductions in funds held on behalf of trial courts.

Recommendation

Recommendation

The Trial Court Budget Advisory Committee recommends that the Judicial Council, effective January 20, 2023, approve the final 2021-22 year-end adjustment of a

3 percent fund balance cap allocation reduction of $13.9 million to match the trial courts’ final calculations of the amount above the 3 percent fund balance cap, further reduced by $12.4 million in approved funds held on behalf of the trial courts to $1.5 million to be reverted to the Trial Court Trust Fund.
