      Concerning an increase in the number of district court judges in

           making an appropriation.
       
      
      Be it enacted by the General Assembly of the State of Colorado:
      
           SECTION 1.  In Colorado Revised Statutes, 13-5-113, add (2) (c)
      as follows:
      
           13-5-113.  Twelfth district. (2) (c)  Subject to available
      appropriations, effective July 1, 2015, the number of judges for the
      twelfth judicial district shall be four.
      
           SECTION 2.  Appropriation. (1)  For the 2015-16 state fiscal year,
      $340,651 is appropriated to the judicial department. This appropriation
      consists of $333,631 from the general fund and $7,020 from the judicial
      department information technology cash fund created in section 13-32-114
      (1), C.R.S. To implement this act, the department may use this
      appropriation as follows:
      
           (a)  $94,170, which consists of $87,150 from general fund and
      $7,020 from the judicial department information technology cash fund, for
      courthouse capital and infrastructure maintenance; and
      
           (b)  $246,481 from the general fund for trial court programs, which
      amount is based on an assumption that the department will require an
      additional 3.2 FTE.
      
           SECTION 3.  Safety clause. The general assembly hereby finds,
      determines, and declares that this act is necessary for the immediate
      preservation of the public peace, health, and safety.
