courts and procedure
Circuit courts
Under current law, the director of state courts makes payments to counties for the costs they incur in administering the circuit court branches. Current law defines those circuit court costs to include jury fees, witness fees, expert witness fees, and salary and fringe benefits for judicial assistants, and any other court operating costs except costs related to courtroom security, rent, utilities, maintenance and construction of court facilities. Currently, the salary of judges and their court reporters is paid by the state under another provision. Currently, each county is required to submit information about court costs by July 1 of each year for costs incurred in the previous calendar year in a format that is established by the director of state courts.
This bill requires counties to report their reimbursable court costs on a uniform chart of accounts that the director of state courts creates. The bill also changes the date that the counties must report the court costs from July 1 to May 15.

758.19 (5) (f) A county that fails to meet the requirements under par. (e) is not eligible for a payment under par. (b) for one fiscal year, as defined in s. 237.01 (3), after the July 1 May 15 that the information was not provided, or until the information is provided, whichever is earlier. Except as provided in this paragraph and par. (g), the information regarding the amount of actual costs reported under par. (e) does not affect the amount paid to a county under par. (b).

SECTION 10. 758.19 (5) (g) of the statutes is amended to read:

758.19 (5) (g) Beginning with the submittal of information under par. (e) on July 1, 1995, if the director of state courts determines, based on the information submitted under par. (e), that the payment made to a county under par. (b) for any calendar year exceeds the circuit court costs incurred by the county for that calendar year, the director of state courts shall deduct the difference from the next payment under par. (b) made to that county after the director's determination. The difference shall be apportioned as provided in par. (c) among the other counties for payment under par. (b) to the other counties on that payment date. For purposes of this paragraph, the director of state courts shall treat the period beginning on August 13, 1993, and ending on December 31, 1994, as a calendar year and determine from the information submitted under par. (e) on July 1, 1994, and July 1, 1995, whether the payment to a county under par. (b) on January 1, 1994, exceeds the circuit court costs incurred by the county for the period beginning on August 13, 1993, and ending on December 31, 1994.
