Title
Child Support: AB 1058 Funding Allocation Joint Subcommittee Interim Report
body
Summary
At its meeting on April 17, 2015, the Judicial Council approved the recommendation from the Family and Juvenile Law Advisory Committee that the AB 1058 Funding Allocation Joint Subcommittee be established to reconsider the allocation methodology developed in 1997 for the AB 1058 Child Support Commissioner and Family Law Facilitator Program. The subcommittee--which included representatives from the Family and Juvenile Law Advisory Committee, Trial Court Budget Advisory Committee, Workload Assessment Advisory Committee, and California Department of Child Support Services--was charged to reconsider the allocation methodology developed in 1997 and report back at the February 2016 Judicial Council meeting.
At that meeting, the Judicial Council approved the subcommittee’s recommendations, with modifications, to allocate funding using the historical funding methodology and to develop a workload-based funding methodology for implementation beginning in fiscal year (FY) 2018-2019. The Judicial Council additionally reconstituted the subcommittee and directed it to report back at the December 2016 council meeting on its progress in developing a recommendation for the Judicial Council on a workload-based funding methodology. This report is to provide an update to the council on the subcommittee’s progress.
