The bill amends the allocation priorities for the State Administration of Justice Fund in Arkansas. Specifically, it modifies the existing law to ensure that if the fund's balance is insufficient to cover all authorized monthly allocations, the available revenue will first be used to fully fund the monthly allocation for the Court Reporter's Fund and the Administrative Office of the Courts for county reimbursements for jurors.
Additionally, the bill removes the previous allocation for the Arkansas District Judges Council, Inc., specifically the funding for its Executive Director. This change reflects a shift in funding priorities, emphasizing the importance of juror reimbursements while eliminating the allocation to the District Judges Council.
