This bill
includes a General Fund appropriation of $412,750 in fiscal year 2016-17 for
the Judicial Department for one Judge position, one Deputy Marshall position
and one Assistant Clerk position due to an anticipated increase in the number
of district court cases involving children. |
|
The Office of
Child and Family Services within the Department of Human Services has
indicated to the Judiciary Committee that having all actively pending matters
concerning a child and family unit addressed by a single District Court Judge
will provide efficiencies and reduce workload within the OFCS. Accordingly,
the OFCS has offered, and the bill includes, an offsetting General Fund
deappropriation to the Department of Human Services of $412,750 in fiscal
year 2016-17. |
