DATE: February 26, 1987 Coup/
SUBJECT:
Legislation: Senate Bill 123 (Garamendi)
SPECIFIC REQUEST(S) OR RECOMMENDATION(S) & BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION
RECOMMENDATION•
Adopt a position of support for SB 123 by Senator John Garamendi
which allows funds collected for dispute resolution programs to
be carried over from one year to the next until a county funds a
dispute resolution program.
BACKGROUND:
In 1986, the Legislature enacted legislation authorizing the
establishment of dispute resolution programs. Programs are to be
operated on contract with the county and must meet certain
standards specified in the legislation. Programs are supported
financially by a civil filing fee increase of between $1 and $3 .
Senator Garamendi has introduced SB 123 to make several technical
corrections and changes in the dispute resolution program. Among
these is clarification that funds collected via the increased
civil filing fee need not be spent in the year they are
collected, but can be carried over to the next year until the
county is ready to fund a dispute resolution program. This
clarification is necessary in order to make the program workable
and deserves the support of the Board of Supervisors.
