COURTS: Provides for the appointment of interpreters in court proceedings. (8/1/24) (EN NO IMPACT See Note)

SB 103 amends the law to ensure that court-appointed interpreters are paid from the appropriate court fund rather than from other sources. This change directly affects court proceedings by clarifying the financial responsibility for providing language assistance to individuals who do not speak English. The bill does not alter the requirement for interpreters to be present but specifically addresses how their compensation is funded.
