Information
Agenda Item Text:
Approve State Grant for Public Defender Training funds per ARS 12-117 in the amount of $3,000, effective July 1, 2020 through June 30, 2021.
Background:
In 1989, the Arizona Legislature enacted ARS 12-117 for the purpose of providing money to the Supreme Court for distribution to county public defenders for training purposes. The amount the Public Defender is expecting to receive for Fiscal Year 2020-2021 has been included in the budget.
Department's Next Steps (if approved):
Approvals respectfully requested.
Impact of NOT Approving/Alternatives:
If not approved, the Public Defender will depend solely on the county general fund for funding for mandatory continuing legal education credits for attorney staff.
