LITTLE ROCK (Arkansas News Bureau) — A potential fix to a chronic shortfall in the fund that pays for a number of state judicial programs along with the salaries of 125 administrative court assistants, has been cobbled together by a panel of judges and could get final approval this week by the Legislature.
But while many see Senate Bill 307 as the long-term solution to an $87,000 a month shortfall in the Administration of Justice Fund, some lawmakers aren't so sure.
In fact, lawmakers are expected to be asked soon to provide an additional cash infusion — as much as $350,000 — to the fund to help pay the salaries of the administrative court assistants through the end of the current fiscal year.
