Courthouse security, both physical and in cyberspace, plus pay boosts for courtroom interpreters and those who do mental health examinations in civil commitment and criminal proceedings are the main items set to benefit from a $36 million proposal.
Sponsored by Rep. Jamie Becker-Finn (DFL-Roseville), HF5245, as amended, was approved by the House Judiciary Finance and Civil Law Committee Thursday and sent to the House Ways and Means Committee.
District courts would be the largest beneficiary at $32 million for the 2024-25 biennium; the Supreme Court would receive $4 million, with $3.5 million of that to enhance cybersecurity in all state judiciary system courts.
