Senate Roll Call 201: Passed

To adopt a House-Senate conference report for the FY 2001-2002 Judiciary budget. This appropriates $243.2 million in adjusted gross spending (funded from all sources, including state restricted fund and federal pass-through dollars, minus interdepartmental transfers), an increase of 4.2 percent compared to the current year’s $233.3 million, the amount enacted in 2000. Of this, $179.8 million will come from the General Fund (funded by actual state tax revenues), an increase of 5.5 percent compared to the current year’s $170.3 million. The funding includes $10 million to pay for increases in judicial salaries, which were included with legislative and executive branch pay increases allowed to go into effect by the legislature under the State Officers Compensation Commission (SOCC) process.
