relative to the release of escrowed funds by the judicial branch.

Summary

The bill orders the Administrative Office of the Courts to release any escrowed money or property to the entitled party within 30 days after a final, non‑appealable judgment. If the office delays without lawful cause, the claimant can receive interest and reasonable attorney fees, and the rule would apply retroactively to the past five years. It also requires an annual public report of any escrowed funds that remain undistributed beyond the deadline.
