§ 1227. Law Library Revolving Fund--Authorized expenditures
Currentness
A. There is hereby created in the State Treasury a revolving fund for the Supreme Court to be designated the “Law Library Revolving Fund”. The fund shall be a continuing fund, not subject to fiscal year limitations, and shall consist of all monies collected by the clerks of the district court for law libraries as prescribed by law, the sales of any law library books or equipment, charges for services, gifts, grants, private donations, and federal funding. All monies accruing to the credit of the fund are hereby appropriated and may be budgeted and expended by the Supreme Court upon approval of the Chief Justice for:
1. The payment of charges due and owing by county law libraries at the time this statute is enacted;
2. The purchase of books, journals, publications, computer-assisted research devices and services, computer equipment and maintenance, communication charges, and other necessary equipment, services, and fixtures;
3. The payment of the salaries and benefits of personnel to administer the law libraries and assist in the purchase, sale, and inventory of books and equipment and the payment of all bills due and owing by county law libraries. Without regard for the county in which bills were incurred or monies accrued, all monies received in the fund shall be combined and all bills paid from this fund;
4. The payment of incidental expenses as established in rules promulgated by the Supreme Court;
5. The payment of expenses occurring as the result of a natural disaster, accident, or equipment malfunction which is not reasonably foreseeable;
6. No initial orders or renewals for printed materials not previously on subscription may be placed after July 1, 1997; and
7. On or before August 1, 1997, the Administrative Director of the Courts shall solicit proposals for electronic research services to be provided to county law libraries if funds are available. Such proposals shall provide both compact disc and Internet access capabilities.
Expenditures from this fund shall be made upon warrants issued by the State Treasurer against claims filed as prescribed by law with the Director of the Office of Management and Enterprise Services for approval and payment.
B. Until June 30, 2021, the Office of Management and Enterprise Services shall, at the request of the Administrative Director of the Courts, transfer any monies from the Law Library Revolving Fund to the Supreme Court Administrative Revolving Fund or the Interagency Reimbursement Fund as necessary to perform the duties imposed upon the Supreme Court, Court of Civil Appeals and district courts by law.
