This is the FY 2021 original appropriation bill for the Supreme Court. It appropriates a total of $73,280,500.
For benefit costs, the bill maintains the current appropriated amount for health insurance at $11,650 per eligible

funding for the equivalent of a 2% change in employee compensation for permanent state employees. The
bill funds seven line items, which provide 2.00 FTP and $264,400 for District 1 magistrate judges; 1.00 FTP
and $95,800 for a floating court reporter; $34,000 for ADA consulting; $20,800 for occupancy costs at the
Idaho Law and Justice Learning Center; $35,000 for juror compensation; a reduction of $600,000 for Medicaid
expansion; and $150,000 for Guardian Ad Litem Program staff in the five applicable districts and $50,000 for
the grant administrator to procure an independent evaluation of the Guardian Ad Litem Program statewide.
