JFAC has set the first general-fund agency budget for next year, for the Idaho judicial branch. It reflects an 8.3 percent cut in state general funds for next year, and a 7.5 percent cut overall, but a large chunk of that is expected to be made up by a $25 emergency surcharge on all convictions - from felonies to infractions - for the next three years. That'll raise about $5.1 million a year. That legislation still is working its way through the Legislature and hasn't yet reached the full House, so the budget set today doesn't reflect it; if it passes, a trailer bill would amend the budget.
