AI Summary
This bill states the Legislature's intent to appropriate an additional $600,000 from the General Fund for each of the fiscal years 2025-26 and 2026-27 specifically for interpreter services provided by the Supreme Court. These funds are designated to support interpreters for two groups: deaf and hard of hearing persons, and individuals who cannot communicate in English. The appropriation is strictly limited to these interpreter services and will be allocated to Court Administration under Agency 5, Program No. 34. The bill includes an emergency clause, which means it will take effect immediately upon being passed and approved, allowing for prompt implementation of the funding allocation to ensure accessible communication in court settings.
