Summary
The Trial Court Budget Advisory Committee recommends that the Judicial Council approve an extension for the Superior Court of San Mateo County to continue receiving children’s waiting room funds to accumulate sufficient resources in anticipation of two waiting rooms reopening on September 1, 2020. The Superior Court of San Mateo County closed its Hall of Justice facility in Redwood City and the Youth Services Center in San Mateo after the vendor canceled its contract in June 2019.
