SB 104 Alaska Senate · 33rd Legislature (2023-2024)

An Act relating to appropriations to the civil legal services fund.

This bill amends the law governing the civil legal services fund in Alaska to clarify how money can be added to the account. It allows the legislature to fund the account using specific deposits from the general fund and up to 25 percent of court filing fees collected in the previous year. The money from this fund can only be given to organizations that offer legal help to low-income individuals, who are defined as those earning 125 percent or less of the federal poverty guidelines. By setting these funding sources and eligibility rules, the bill aims to ensure that financial support for civil legal aid is available to those with limited income.
