GENERAL APPROPRIATIONS BILL                          Committee       Amendment
SB2500                                                  ARTV             4


Senator(s): Smith
moved the following amendment:

Section: 07              EXPLANATION:

On Page: 331             This amendment shifts $2,490,906 from General Revenue
                         Fund to Grants and Donations Trust Fund in the trial
Spec App: 2943           court's salaries and benefits category. The same total
                         in General Revenue Fund is added to the following
                         categories: state attorney witness coordination
                         ($941,863 and 21 FTE), state attorney operations
                         ($293,327), state attorney due process services
                         ($134,110), public defender due process services
                         ($820,565), and the state courts Article V contingency
                         fund ($301,041).  The shift in the courts' funding
                         properly reflects the current practice of state
                         attorneys and public defenders using court employees
                         for court reporter and court interpreter services.
                         State attorneys and public defenders will reimburse the
                         courts for the use of these services.  The increases in
                         the state attorney and public defender categories
                         reflect adjustments to Article V implementation costs
                         warranted by further analyses of available cost data.
