House Roll Call 272: Passed

The House version of the FY 2002-2003 Judiciary budget. This appropriates $244.9 million in adjusted gross spending (funded from all sources, including state restricted fund and federal pass-through dollars, minus interdepartmental transfers), compared to $243.2 million, which was the FY 2001-2002 amount enacted in 2001, excluding any supplemental appropriations. Of this, $179.7 million will come from the General Fund (funded by actual state tax revenues), compared to the current year’s $179.8 million. The House version adds $620,000 in additional general fund spending for security at the new Hall of Justice, $227,100 for office equipment for the State Appellate Defender Office, and $250,000 for a program to pay certain legal aid lawyers up to half of their law school tuition debt.
