AI Summary
This bill terminates the Mediation and Arbitration Trust Fund, which is a fund within the State Courts System used for mediation and arbitration services. All money currently in this fund, as well as any money that would have been collected by it in the future, will be moved to the State Courts Revenue Trust Fund. The Chief Financial Officer will then use the money from the State Courts Revenue Trust Fund to pay off any outstanding debts or obligations of the now-closed Mediation and Arbitration Trust Fund, and will then remove the terminated fund from state accounting systems. This change will take effect on July 1, 2026.
