SB321

Senate Bill 321 amends Arkansas Code § 16-10-310(c)(1)(A) regarding the priority of fund allocations within the State Administration of Justice Fund. The bill specifically addresses situations where the fund balance is insufficient to cover all authorized monthly obligations. It reorganizes the distribution priority to ensure that the Court Reporter's Fund, the Arkansas District Judges Council, the Trial Court Administrator Fund, and the Administrative Office of the Courts for county juror reimbursements are funded first. By modifying the hierarchy of these distributions, the bill ensures these specific judicial and administrative functions receive priority access to available state revenue.
