Requires expenditures accruing in the circuit courts to be paid out of the treasury of the state
Referred: Emerging Issues(H)
Summary
The bill repeals existing statutes on county budgeting for circuit courts and creates new rules that require all circuit‑court costs—except certain salaries and municipal‑division expenses—to be paid directly by the state. It also sets a process for courts to submit budget estimates and for disputes to be reviewed by a judicial finance commission. The measure failed to advance out of the Emerging Issues committee.
