SB 181 Alabama Senate · 2026 Regular Session

Administrative Office of Courts, creation of judicial education nonprofit

SB 181 allows Alabama's Administrative Office of Courts to create a nonprofit entity to manage judicial education funding. This nonprofit would collect nonpublic funds (not state money) for judge and court staff training, hold those funds outside the state treasury (with annual audits), and receive state funds for educational purposes. The nonprofit would operate under the Administrative Office of Courts and be staffed by its employees. It directly affects judicial education programs for judges, court staff, and related personnel. The bill primarily changes how funding for judicial education is structured and administered.
