Under current law, 0.99 percent of docket fees are credited to the Judicial Council Fund. HB 2184 would remove this provision. The bill would abolish the Judicial Council Fund and beginning on July 1, 2023, would require that all monies in the Judicial Council Fund be transferred to the State General Fund. The bill would also require all remaining and unencumbered funds from the Publications Fee Fund to be transferred to the State General Fund at the end of each fiscal year. The Judicial Council states its requested FY 2024 budget is $696,664 from all funding sources and if the bill is enacted, that amount would need to be funded from a State General Fund appropriation. The Council also estimates revenues of $723,165 would be transferred from the Judicial Council Fund and the Publications Fee Fund to the State General Fund in FY 2024 resulting from the enactment of the bill. Any fiscal effect associated with HB 2184 is not reflected in The FY 2024 Governor’s Budget Report. Sincerely, Adam Proffitt Director of the Budget cc: Janelle Williams, Judicial Council
