Explanation
(This amendment authorizes the filling of five judgeships which have been identified as areas of critical needs and adjusts the savings assumed from the judicial vacancy savings. In addition the amendment corrects typographical errors in the introduced budget regarding the authorization to fill judgeships proposed in the introduced budget. It is the intention of the General Assembly that sufficient funds be made available within the existing appropriation for this item for a substitute judge for the Twenty-fifth General District Court in which the incumbent vacated the bench as of December 31, 2012, and in which the substitute will also support the Twenty-sixth General District Court.)
