Making 2023-2025 fiscal biennium second supplemental operating appropriations.
SB 5166 is a supplemental appropriations bill allocating $56.8 million in state funds for court operations during the 2023-2025 fiscal biennium. It directly affects Washington state courts, juvenile justice programs, and rural court facilities by funding specific needs: $7 million for county juvenile court processing of truancy and youth referrals, $1 million for rural court security upgrades, $250,000 for lactation spaces in courthouses, and $1.35 million to expand an equity dashboard tracking criminal justice disparities. The bill amends existing budget codes to direct these funds to designated programs without creating new policies. It does not change eligibility or service requirements but adjusts funding allocations for existing court system operations.
