Title
Child Support | Potential California Department of Child Support Services Budget Change Proposal for Increased Funding for Assembly Bill (AB) 1058 Program (Action Required)
body
Summary
The Judicial Branch Budget Committee recommends the Judicial Council support the California Department of Child Support Service’s development of a budget change proposal to request additional funding to restore program funding for the Assembly Bill (AB) 1058 Child Support Commissioner and Family Law Facilitator Program to “prerecession” funding levels. The additional funding would be allocated to the courts and fund the administration of the Judicial Council’s AB 1058 program, which has been flat-funded for 11 years.
Recommendation
The Judicial Branch Budget Committee (JBBC) recommends that the Judicial Council support the California Department of Child Support Service’s (DCSS) development of a request for additional funding for the AB 1058 Child Support Commissioner and Family Law Facilitator Program to be allocated to the trial courts using the current funding methodology, and for additional funding for the administration of the program by the Judicial Council.
