body
Summary
Summary
The Trial Court Budget Advisory Committee (TCBAC) recommends the reallocation of Community Assistance, Recovery, and Empowerment (CARE) Act fiscal year 2024-25 funds to the trial courts. The CARE Act funding methodology calls for a midyear reallocation process to redistribute funds that courts project will be left unspent to courts that request additional program funding. Judicial Council staff conducted a survey of all the trial courts and identified $7,580,954.96 projected to be available for reallocation from 34 courts and requests from 2 courts that a total of $400,000.00 be redistributed to them. The TCBAC presented this recommendation to the Judicial Branch Budget Committee (JBBC) on March 14, 2025, and the JBBC approved it for consideration by the Judicial Council.
