SUMMARY

 

     Synopsis of Bill

 

Senate Bill 185 appropriates $35.4 from the general fund to the Fourth Judicial District Attorney for a Victim’s Advocate.

 

     Significant Issues

 

The Fourth Judicial District Attorney requested $35.4 from the general fund as part of its FY03 budget request to add one permanent Victim Advocate 2.  The LFC recommendation and the General Appropriation Act includes $29.2 for one Victim Advocate 2 position.  The addition of one Victim Advocate 2 position increases the number of permanent positions in the Fourth Judicial District Attorney’s Office from 30.5 to 31.5.

 

 

 

 

 

FISCAL IMPLICATIONS

 

The appropriation of $35.4 contained in SB 185 is a recurring expense to the general fund. Any unexpended or unencumbered balance remaining at the end of FY03 shall revert to the general fund.

 

DUPLICATION

 

SB 185 duplicates HB 188
