Bill > HB3873

This bill appropriates funds to the Office of Statewide Pretrial Services for fiscal year 2026, allocating a total of $67,049,700 from multiple funding sources. Specifically, $60,549,700 will come from the General Revenue Fund and be used for operational expenses, awards, grants, permanent improvements, and pretrial services reimbursements. An additional $1,000,000 will be drawn from the Office of Statewide Pretrial Services Special State Projects Fund for various state projects, while $5,000,000 from the Federal Projects Fund will cover expenses related to federal projects. A further $500,000 from the Indirect Cost Fund will support administrative expenses. Pretrial services typically involve monitoring and supporting individuals who have been arrested but not yet tried, helping to ensure they appear in court and do not pose a risk to public safety while awaiting trial. The bill will take effect on July 1, 2025, and provides flexibility by allowing the office to use "so much thereof as may be necessary" from each appropriation, which allows for some budgetary adaptability.
