Assembly requests that copies of all reports requested in other
footnotes contained in this act be delivered to the Joint Budget
Committee and the majority and minority leadership in each house
of the General Assembly. Each principal department of the state
shall produce its rules and regulations in an electronic format
that is suitable for public access through electronic means.
Such rules and regulations in such format shall be submitted to
the Office of Legislative Legal Services for publishing on the
Internet. It is the intent of the General Assembly that this
be done within existing resources.
6 Department of Corrections, Management, Executive
Director's Office Subprogram; Department of Human Services, Division
of Youth Corrections, and Health and Rehabilitation Services,
Alcohol and Drug Abuse Division; Judicial Department, Probation
and Related Services; and Department of Public Safety, Division
of Criminal Justice It is the intent of the General
Assembly that state criminal justice agencies involved in multiagency
programs requiring separate appropriations to each agency designate
one lead agency to be responsible for submitting a comprehensive
annual budget request for such programs to the Joint Budget Committee.
Each agency must still submit its portion of such request with
its own budget document.
58 Department of Higher Education, State Historical
Society; and Judicial Department, Courts Administration, Judicial/Heritage
Complex It is the intent of the General Assembly
that any requests for increased funding for the Judicial Heritage

performance each year in connection with its annual budget request.
104 Judicial Department,
Courts Administration, Integrated Information Services
Given the state=s
substantial investment in information technology for the Judicial

that such investment would produce savings in the funding required

on applying its information technology resources to improving
the efficiency of existing core functions and achieving cost savings,
and a lower priority on expanding functions or capabilities.

annual budget request.
