Clerks of the Court

Summary

The law requires half of the cumulative excess in the Clerks of Court Trust Fund to be transferred to the state General Revenue Fund and the other half to support the combined budgets of county clerks, with a minimum reserve that must grow to 16% of total budget authority. It also gives the Florida Clerks of Court Operations Corporation authority to approve, adjust, and review clerk budgets to ensure they are balanced and based on performance data. These changes are intended to improve fiscal oversight and consistency across the state’s court clerks.
