FY 2013-14 JUDICIARY BUDGET                                                                                        BOILERPLATE HIGHLIGHTS

Changes from FY 2013-14 Senate-Passed:

1. State Restricted Fund Reporting.  The Governor revised section to state that the Judiciary shall cooperate with the State Budget Office to provide a report to the Legislature on state restricted funds, instead of having the Judiciary provide the report.  Senate concurred with Governor's changes, but the House retained current law.  (Sec. 222)

2. Drug Court Evaluation.  The Senate removed subsection (3) which called for the drug court programming evaluation called for in this section to be consistent with the requirements of the Federal Byrne Grant for that program.  The State Court Administrative Office (SCAO) indicated that the Byrne Grant flows through the Department of Michigan State Police and has its own evaluation requirements, so SCAO asked that the reference to the Byrne Grant in this section be removed.  The House retained current law.  (Sec. 310)

3. Juvenile Placement Information.  Both Senate and House added new language requiring SCAO to provide courts with a quarterly listing of out-of-state placements of juvenile offenders and an annual listing of per diem costs for both public and private residential facilities in the State of Michigan.  House made minor language revisions.  (Sec. 323)
