Recommendation
The Trial Court Budget Advisory Committee recommends that the Judicial Council, effective July 12, 2024, revise the allocation methodology for the Model Self-Help Pilot Program’s Technology Model Project to:
1. Require that proposed projects be limited to enabling courts to collaborate in providing self-help services remotely;
2. Award a three-year grant through a competitive solicitation process open to all courts and conducted every three years;
3. Make a single grant award for the project; and
4. If a responsive proposal is not received in the fiscal year 2024-25 solicitation process, allocate funding through the current methodology adopted by the council at its meeting on March 12, 2021.
