Summary
Summary
The 2018 Budget Act included $2.55 million ongoing for language access signage and technology infrastructure support and equipment needs for the trial courts and the Judicial Council. The Advisory Committee on Providing Access and Fairness (PAF) and the Information Technology Advisory Committee (ITAC) recommend approving a proposed grant process and directing the Language Access Services unit (LAS) of the Center for Families, Children & the Courts to solicit and review grant applications and develop recommendations for review and approval by PAF, ITAC, and the Judicial Council. Following council approval of grant awards each year, LAS will disburse funding to awarded courts annually, beginning in fiscal year 2019-20.
