| This bill replaces Other Special Revenue funds allocations | | included in Private and Special Law 1999, chapter 10, a non- | | emergency act, with new Other Special Revenue funds allocations | | that become effective June 1, 1999. Deallocations totaling $98,210 | | in fiscal year 1999-00 and $106,526 in fiscal year 2000-01, equal | | to the amounts allocated in Private and Special Law 1999, chapter | | 10, are included to offset the original allocations. New | | allocations provide authorization for two Assistant District | | Attorney positions and related expenses effective June 1, 1999. | | The total allocations are $9,714, $101,035 and $106,526 in fiscal | | years 1998-99, 1999-00 and 2000-01, respectively. |
|
| | | The net effect of this bill will be a net increase of Other | | Special Revenue funds allocations of $9,714 in fiscal year 1998- | | 99 and $2,825 in fiscal year 1999-00. The allocations also | | represent an equal net increase of dedicated revenue to the | | Department of the Attorney General. |
|
| | | The Judicial Department will experience an increase in | | workload and administrative costs associated with the additional | | cases filed in the court system as a result of the addition of | | these 2 Assistant District Attorney positions. These costs can | | be absorbed within the existing budgeted resources of the | | Judicial Department. |
|
| | | In Private and Special Law 1999, chapter 10, An Act to | | Strengthen the Criminal Justice Response to Domestic Violence, | | the First Regular Session of the 119th Legislature approved the | | allocation of funds to the Cumberland County District Attorney's | | office to hire 2 assistant district attorneys to staff a domestic | | violence unit. The funding is a result of a federal grant that | | becomes available June 1, 1999. However, since Private and | | Special Law 1999, chapter 10 is not emergency legislation, it | | will not take effect until 90 days after adjournment of the First | | Regular Session of the 119th Legislature. |
|
| | | This bill deallocates the funds allocated in Private and | | Special Law 1999, chapter 10, instead providing for an | | allocation, including an allocation for funds beginning June 1, | | 1999, that takes effect June 1, 1999, the day the federal grant | | funds become available. |
