Summary
The Fiscal Planning Subcommittee of the Trial Court Budget Advisory Committee recommends that the Judicial Council approve a request from the San Francisco Superior Court to continue receiving children’s waiting room funds during the unforeseen temporary closure of its children’s waiting rooms in response to the state of emergency related to the COVID-19 pandemic.
