What this bill does

Plain-language analysis by the nonpartisan Legislative Reference Bureau

This bill adds 12 additional circuit court branches to be allocated by the director

of state courts as follows: four circuit court branches in 2020, four circuit court

branches in 2021, and four circuit court branches in 2022. The director of state courts

may allocate the branches to any county the director of state courts determines is in

need of an additional circuit court branch if the county has passed a resolution

requesting an additional circuit court branch and if the county has established or will

have established by May 31 of the year in which the circuit court branch becomes

effective the appropriate infrastructure to support the additional circuit court

branch. The director of state courts may require any county, as a condition for

receiving a circuit court branch allocation, to have established or to apply for a grant

to establish a drug court.
