§ 71670 Trial Court Funding Exemption

• •This law says that the rules in this chapter do not change or override another law called the Brown-Presley Trial Court Funding Act.
• •The state or the Judicial Council does not have to give extra money to trial courts just because of the rules in this chapter.
• •If a trial court spends money because of this chapter, the state doesn’t have to pay for it.

Imagine your school has a rule that says teachers must buy extra supplies for their classrooms. But there’s another rule that says the school district doesn’t have to pay for those supplies. This law works the same way—it says the state doesn’t have to pay for extra costs just because of the rules in this chapter.

If a trial court has to spend money on something because of this chapter, the state isn’t required to give them extra money to cover it. The court has to handle those costs on its own.
