Of the 137.5 FTE positions, 82 FTE positions represent superior court judges in counties with a population of less than two million persons. One‑half of their salaries are provided by state general fund appropriations pursuant to section 12‑128, Arizona Revised Statutes. This is not meant to limit the counties' ability to add judges pursuant to section 12‑121, Arizona Revised Statutes.
Up to 4.6 percent of the amounts appropriated for juvenile treatment services and juvenile diversion consequences may be retained and expended by the supreme court to administer the programs established pursuant to section 8‑322, Arizona Revised Statutes, and to conduct evaluations as needed. The remaining portion of the juvenile treatment services and juvenile diversion consequences appropriations shall be deposited in the juvenile probation services fund established by section 8‑322, Arizona Revised Statutes.
Receipt of state probation monies by the counties is contingent on the county maintenance of fiscal year 2003-2004 expenditure levels for each probation program. State probation monies are not intended to supplant county dollars for probation programs.
On or before November 1, 2015, the administrative office of the courts shall report to the joint legislative budget committee the fiscal year 2014‑2015 actual, fiscal year 2015-2016 estimated and fiscal year 2016-2017 requested amounts for the following:
1. On a county-by-county basis, the number of authorized and filled case carrying probation positions and non-case carrying positions, distinguishing between adult standard, adult intensive, juvenile standard and juvenile intensive. The report shall indicate the level of state probation funding, other state funding, county funding and probation surcharge funding for those positions.
2. Total receipts and expenditures by county and fund source for the adult standard, adult intensive, juvenile standard and juvenile intensive probation line items, including the amount of personal services expended from each revenue source of each account.
3. The amount of monies from the adult standard, adult intensive, juvenile standard and juvenile intensive probation line items that the office does not distribute as direct aid to counties. The report shall delineate how the office expends these monies that are not distributed as direct aid to counties.
All centralized service payments made by the administrative office of the courts on behalf of counties shall be funded only from the centralized service payments line item. Centralized service payments include only training, motor vehicle payments, CORP review board funding, LEARN funding, research, operational reviews and GPS vendor payments. This footnote does not apply to treatment or counseling services payments made from the juvenile treatment services and juvenile diversion consequences line items. Monies in the operating lump sum appropriation or other line items intended for centralized service payments shall be transferred to the centralized service payments line item before expenditure.
All monies in the adult standard probation, adult intensive probation, interstate compact, juvenile standard probation and juvenile intensive probation line items shall be used only as pass-through monies to county probation departments. Monies in the operating lump sum appropriation or other line items intended as pass-through for the purpose of administering a county probation program shall be transferred to the appropriate probation line item before expenditure."
