Transferring Court Security Fund

SB 952 transfers the Court Security Fund - used to enhance court security - from the Department of Military Affairs and Public Safety to the Supreme Court of Appeals. It reduces the Court Security Board's membership from seven to six members, designates the Supreme Court's administrative director as chair, and eliminates the requirement for the board to create legislative rules. The bill authorizes the Legislature to appropriate funds for the Supreme Court's administrative costs managing the fund, with those costs capped at three percent of the fund's balance or $30,000 annually under existing law.
