TO AMEND THE LAW CONCERNING THE STATE ADMINISTRATION OF JUSTICE FUND.

SB 321 amends Arkansas' State Administration of Justice Fund law to change the order of funding priority when the fund balance is insufficient. It directs that available funds must first cover: court reporters' costs, the Arkansas District Judges Council's executive director, the Trial Court Administrator Fund, and county juror reimbursements. This bill directly affects court operations and funding for judicial support services across Arkansas. The bill passed the Senate in March 2025 but died in the House Judiciary Committee on May 5, 2025, without becoming law.
