Explanation

(This amendment restores $1.0 million each year in the general fund provided by the 2020 General Assembly for the State Bar to contract for additional civil indigent defense attorneys to represent individuals in eviction cases. A companion amendment in Item 51 appropriates a nongeneral fund match provided by a private sector contributor.)
