SUBJECT: LEGISLATION: AB 2385 (LONGVILLE)
SPECIFIC REOUEST(S)OR RECOMMENDATION(S)&BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION
RECOMMENDATION:
ADOPT a position in SUPPORT of AB 2385 by Assemblyman John Longville of
Rialto, which would reduce the County's required payments for the trial courts by
approximately one-third, or $4 million annually, beginning in the 2000-2001 fiscal
year.
BACKGROUND:
Over the past several years, the State has taken over 100% of the responsibility for
paying for the costs of the trial courts in the 38 smallest counties. The remaining
20 counties continue to have a substantial responsibility for financial support of the
trial courts.
In an effort to provide some equity to all counties, Assemblyman Longville has
introduced AB 2385, which reduces the fiscal responsibility of these 20 counties by
approximately one-third. In the case of Contra Costa County, the responsibility
would be reduced from $11,974,535 to $7,983,423, a savings of $4 million,
beginning in the 2000-2001 fiscal year.
San Bernardino County has specifically asked Contra Costa County to support AB
2385 and this office recommends that the Board of Supervisors indicate its support
for AB 2385.

CALIFORNIA LEGISLATURE-1994-2000 REGULAR SESSION
ASSEMBLY BILL No. 2385
Introduced by Assembly Member Longvllle
February 24,2000
An act to amend Section 77201.1 of the Government Code,
relating to courts.
LEGISLATIVE COUNSEVS DIGEST
AB 2385,as introduced, Longville. Trial court funding.
Existing law sets forth the amounts that each county must
remit to the state for the funding of trial court operations.
This bill would reduce the amount that various counties
must remit to the state for that purpose commending in the
200MI fiscal year, as specified. The bill would also include a
statement of legislative intent.
Vote: majority. Appropriation: no. Fiscal committee: yes.
State-mandated local program: no.
The people of the State of California do enact as follows:
I SECTION 1. The Legislature finds and declares all of
2 the following:
3 (a) There are disparities in local funding for trial
4 courts that may result in the unequal dispensation of
5 justice.
6 (b) Since 1992, the Legislature has acted to increase
7 the state's share of trial court funding.

AB 5385 —2-

1 (c) The state has assumed 100 percent of the annual
2 costs for the trial court operations of the 38 smallest
3 counties.
4 (d) The remaining 20 counties continue to bear
5 significant costs for their trial court operations.
6 (e) For these reasons, the state will continue to
7 increase its share of trial court costs for those remaining
8 20 counties by reducing those counties' share of costs by
9 one-third for the 2000-01 fiscal year.
10 SEC. 2. Section 77201.1 of the Government Code is
11 amended to read:
12 77201.1. (a) Commencing on July 1, 1997, no county
13 shall be responsible for funding court operations, as
14 defined in Section 77003 and Rule 810 of the California
15 Rules of Court as it read on July 1, 1996.
16 (b) Commencing in the 1999 20 200041 fiscal year,
17 and each fiscal year thereafter, each county shall remit to
18 the state in four equal installments due on October 1,
19 January 1, April 1, and May 1, the amounts specified in
20 paragraphs(1)and(2),as follows.
21 (1) Except as otherwise specifically provided in this
22 section, each county shall remit to the state the amount

18 (3) Except as otherwise specifically provided in this
19 section, county remittances specified in paragraphs (1)
20 and(2)shall not be increased in subsequent years.
21 (4) Except for those counties with a population of
22 70,000, or less, on January 1, 1996, the amount a county is
23 required to remit pursuant to paragraph (1) shall be
24 adjusted by the amount equal to any adjustment resulting
25 from the procedures in subdivisions (c) and (d) of
26 Section 77201 as that section read on June 30, 1998, to the
27 extent a county filed an appeal with the Controller with
28 respect to the findings made by the Department of
29 Finance. This paragraph shall not be construed to
30 establish a new appeal process beyond what was provided
31 by Section 77201,as that section read on June 30, 1998.
32 (5) Any change in statute or rule of court that either
33 reduces the bail schedule or redirects or reduces a
34 county's portion of fee, fine, and forfeiture revenue to an
35 amount that is less than (A) the fees, fines, and forfeitures
36 retained by that county, and (13) the county's portion of
37 fines and forfeitures transmitted to the state in the
38 1994--95 fiscal year, shall reduce that county's remittance
39 specified in paragraph (2) of this subdivision by an equal
I
-7— AB 2385
1 amount. Nothing in this paragraph is intended to limit
2 judicial sentencing discretion.
3 (c) Nothing in this section is intended to relieve a
4 county of the responsibility to provide necessary and
5 suitable court facilities pursuant to Section 68473.
6 (d) Nothing in this section is intended to relieve a
7 county of the responsibility for justice-related expenses
8 not included in Section 77003 which are otherwise
9 required of the county by law, including, but not limited
10 to, indigent defense representation and investigation,
11 and payment of youth authority charges.
12 (e) County base year remittance requirements
13 specified in paragraph (2) of subdivision (b) incorporate
14 specific reductions to reflect those instances where the
15 Department of Finance has determined that a county's
16 remittance to both the General Fund and the Trial Court
17 Trust Fund during the 1994-95 fiscal year exceeded the
18 aggregate amount of state funding from the General
19 Fund and the Trial Court Trust Fund. The amount of the
20 reduction was determined by calculating the difference
21 between the amount the county remitted to the General
22 Fund and the Trial Court Trust Fund and the aggregate
23 amount of state support from the General Fund and the
24 Trial Court Trust Fund allocated to the county's trial
25 courts. In making its determination of whether a county
26 is entitled to a reduction pursuant to that paragraph, the
27 Department of Finance subtracted from county revenues
28 remitted to the state, all moneys derived from the fee
29 required by Section 42007.1 of the Vehicle Code and the
30 parking surcharge required by subdivision (c) of Section
31 76000.
32 (f) Notwithstanding subdivision (e), the Department
33 of Finance shall not reduce a county's base-year
34 remittance requirement, as specified in paragraph (2) of
35 subdivision (b), if the county's trial court funding
36 allocation was modified pursuant to the amendments to
37 the allocation formula set forth in paragraph (4) of
38 subdivision (d) of Section 77200, as amended by Chapter
39 2 of the Statutes of 1993, to provide a stable level of
I
AB 2385 —8—

1 funding for small county courts in response to reductions
2 in the General Fund support for the trial courts.
3 (g) In any fiscal year in which a county of the first class
4 pays the employer-paid retirement contribution for court
5 employees, or any other employees of the county who
6 provide a service to the court, and the amounts of those
7 payments are charged to the budget of the courts, the
8 sum the county is required to pay to the state pursuant to
9 paragraph (1) of subdivision (b) shall be increased by the
10 actual amount charged to the trial court up to
11 twenty-three million five hundred twenty-seven
12 thousand nine hundred forty-nine dollars ($23,527,949) in
13 that fiscal year. The county and the trial court shall report
14 to the Controller and the Department of Finance the
15 actual amount charged in that fiscal year.
