County law library fund and judicial administration fund; to require separate funds to be maintained in the county treasury
HB 320 requires counties to maintain two specific funds in separate accounts within the county treasury: the County Law Library Fund (for library operations and materials) and the Presiding Circuit Judge's Judicial Administration Fund (for court operations). This bill updates existing Alabama law to mandate this separation, ensuring these funds aren't commingled with other county funds. It does not change how funds are collected or used, only clarifies where they must be held. The bill is procedural and affects all Alabama counties managing these funds.
