The bill aims to increase the financial contributions made by quorum courts into continuing education funds for county officials. Specifically, it modifies the annual appropriations from the county treasurer's and county collector's offices, raising the required payment from $700 to $800. This change is intended to enhance the resources available for the continuing education of county officials, ensuring they receive adequate training and support.

Additionally, the bill revises the distribution of revenues from the real property transfer tax. It increases the amount allocated to the County Clerks, Circuit Clerks, and County Coroners Continuing Education Funds from $157,500 to $181,500 annually. Each of these funds will now receive $60,500 for their respective continuing education programs, up from the previous allocation of $52,500. These adjustments are designed to better support the educational needs of county officials and improve their professional development.
