5     Section 62.  (1)(a)  The Legislature finds that the use of
6estimates of prior-year expenditures to establish maximum annual
7budgets for the county fiscal year 2004-2005 resulted in maximum
8annual budgets for some clerks of court which were less than the
9amounts would have been if actual prior-year expenditures had
10been used.
11     (b)  The Legislature further finds that the clerks of court
12perform duties critical to the operations of the judicial branch
13and that future maximum annual budgets for the clerks of court
14are based in part on their prior-year budgets.
15     (c)  The Legislature further finds that the difference
16between establishing the maximum annual budget using estimated
17prior-year expenditures and using actual prior-year expenditures
18was significant for the Clerk of Court for the Eleventh Judicial
19Circuit.

21Court for the Eleventh Judicial Circuit is increased by
22$3,817,115 for the county fiscal year 2004-2005.
