DC Courts Funding: Ensuring Continuity of Operations
This bill aims to ensure that courts and related agencies in the District of Columbia always have funds to operate, even if Congress fails to pass an annual budget bill on time. This means that legal services and the justice system in the District of Columbia will continue to function without interruption, which is important for citizens needing access to courts and public defender services.
Key points
Provides automatic interim funding for District of Columbia courts and related agencies if an annual budget is not enacted.
Guarantees continuous operation of legal services, such as courts, public defender services, and offender supervision.
These funds are temporary and will be replaced once a full appropriation bill is enacted.
