Fiscal Analysis
  
Under current law, unexpended balances in the Judicial and Court
Personnel Training Fund in excess of $500,000 are transferred to the
General Revenue Fund each year.  The bill would increase the cap on
unexpended balances retained in the Court Personnel Training Fund by
$1,000,000 to $1,500,000.
  
  
Methodology
  
The estimate assumes that the bill would effect the transfer from the
Court Personnel Training Fund to the General Revenue Fund in fiscal year
2002.
  
  
Local Government Impact
  
No fiscal implication to units of local government is anticipated.
