An Act relating to appropriations to the civil legal services fund.

Summary

The bill amends the law to let the legislature appropriate money to a civil legal services fund, but only from amounts already deposited in the state’s general fund and up to 25% of the Alaska Court System’s filing fees from the prior fiscal year. The money can be granted to organizations that provide civil legal services to individuals whose income is at or below 125% of the federal poverty line. This creates a flexible funding source for legal aid without creating a new dedicated revenue stream.
