Closing Parent Education and Mediation Fund

SB 951 closes the Parent Education and Mediation Fund, which previously funded parent education and mediation programs, effective July 1, 2026. Any unspent money in the fund will be transferred to the Family Court Fund. The bill also redirects the portion of jury costs that would have gone to the Parent Education and Mediation Fund (per §52-1-17) to the Family Court Fund instead. This ensures existing state funds are reallocated to support family court services without creating new programs.
