Explanation
(This amendment requests general funds for 50 FTEs for district court positions in each year of the biennium. Based on the judicial system's staffing model, the judicial system is currently understaffed by 330 positions. This amendment requests $2.4 million from the general fund each year to fund 50 positions which would be distributed to meet the most critical needs in the district court clerks' offices throughout the Commonwealth.)
