Creates the "Change of Venue for Capital Cases Fund" to reimburse a county that receives a capital case from another county for costs associated with the sequestering of jurors
This bill establishes a dedicated fund to reimburse counties that host capital cases transferred from other counties for the specific costs of sequestering jurors. The Office of the State Courts Administrator will manage the fund, which is financed through state appropriations and can only be used for these reimbursement purposes. Counties seeking reimbursement must apply by May 1st, and payments will be made by June 30th, with any unspent funds remaining in the fund rather than returning to the general revenue. If the available money in the fund is insufficient to cover all claims, the reimbursement will be distributed on a pro rata basis. Additionally, the bill outlines that if a transferred county does not qualify for reimbursement, the original county where the case began remains responsible for covering the juror sequestration costs.
