IN RE: | SB241 by Wentworth (Relating to the creation of an appellate judicial system for the Third Court of Appeals District.), As Engrossed |
No significant fiscal implication to units of local government is anticipated. The 24 counties in the Third Court of Appeals District would incur slight costs to establish a separate appellate justice system fund, but these costs are expected to be minimal. According to the Third Court of Appeals, at an estimated 50,000 filings per fiscal year at $5 per filing, the counties within the district would contribute $250,000 per fiscal year to the appellate justice system.
