241 Judiciary Section, Comptroller's Department

84th Regular Session, Agency Submission, Version 1

Administrator's Statement

The Comptroller's Judiciary Section performs an accounting function for the state by paying the salaries and expenses of 618 district judges and felony prosecutors as well as other expenditures and claims related to the judicial branch of government.

The Comptroller's Judiciary Section is requesting “estimated” appropriation authority for D.1.2. Strategy: County Attorney Supplement. Since approximately 50% of the salary supplement is funded by Judicial Fund 0573, which is collected on a quarterly basis, the "estimated" authority will allow the Comptroller's Judiciary Section to process the salary supplement using temporary appropriation budget revision pending a distribution of collected revenue for Judicial Fund 0573.
