This bill proposes an appropriation of $140,000 to the Administrative Office of the Courts for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2026. The funds are designated to cover fees, expenses, and costs imposed on juveniles or their parents, guardians, or custodians. The bill emphasizes compliance with existing laws regarding the disbursement of these funds, ensuring that all financial regulations and procedures are strictly followed.
Additionally, the bill includes an emergency clause that states the necessity for the act to take effect on July 1, 2025, to prevent any disruption in the operation of the agency responsible for these appropriations. The emergency declaration is based on the constitutional limitation of fund appropriations to one year and the potential harm that could arise from any delays in the act's implementation.
