Judiciary asks for roughly $82 million in FY27, highlights IT, help-desk and training needs
Summary
State court leaders told the House Appropriations Committee on Feb. 3 they are seeking about $82 million for FY27, pointing to IT cost increases, help-desk staffing needs, training positions and a temporary request to continue a mental-health/courts coordinator funded by a delayed federal grant.
The state judiciary asked the House Appropriations Committee on Feb. 3 to approve roughly $82 million for fiscal year 2027, citing rising IT costs, high help-desk demand and the need for new statewide training positions, State Court Administrator Terry Corson said.
Chief financial officer Greg Mosley told the committee the judiciary has an appropriation figure of "$78,499,500" for the current year, the governor's recommended budget shows about "$81,000,000," and "if our budget request is approved, it'll be $82,000,000" for the entire system. Mosley said differences between the governor's recommendation and the judiciary request are primarily the governor increasing vacancy-savings targets and a fee-for-space reclassification that reduced the governor's recommended total.
