An Act To Provide Funding For Prosecutor Positions

This bill allocates state funds to create ten new Assistant District Attorney positions within the Attorney General's Department. These roles are specifically designated for work in recovery courts, specialty dockets, and post-conviction review cases. The legislation authorizes budget spending for these positions in the 2023-24 and 2024-25 fiscal years. A committee amendment clarifies that all funded positions will focus on these specific areas rather than appellate cases.
