Bill Summary
An Act relating to appropriations to the civil legal services fund.
AI Summary
This bill amends the existing law to increase the annual appropriation to the Civil Legal Services Fund from up to 10% to up to 25% of the filing fees received by the Alaska Court System during the previous fiscal year. The fund is used to provide civil legal services to low-income individuals, defined as those with an income equal to or less than 125% of the federal poverty guidelines for Alaska. The bill does not create a dedicated fund, meaning the appropriations can be used for other purposes at the legislature's discretion.
