body
Summary
Summary
The Trial Court Budget Advisory Committee's Fiscal Planning Subcommittee recommends that the Judicial Council approve seven new requests from six trial courts and three amended requests from three trial courts for Trial Court Trust Fund funds to be held on behalf of the trial courts. Under the Judicial Council-adopted process, courts may request funding reduced as a result of a court's exceeding the 1 percent fund balance cap, to be retained in the Trial Court Trust Fund for the benefit of that court. The total estimated amount requested by the trial courts that would be reduced from their 2017-2018 allocations for exceeding the cap is $7.8 million. The council will be informed of any final adjustments to the estimated amounts after 2016-2017 year-end.
