This amendment does two things. It corrects the fiscal note for the committee amendment which had appropriations 
for the Judicial Department starting in fiscal year 2007-08 when they should have started in fiscal year 2006-07 and it 
deappropriates from the Department of Corrections to reflect savings in that agency. The savings in the Department of 
Corrections are $36,355 annually beginning in fiscal year 2006-07. The costs to the Judicial Department are $36,355 
in fiscal year 2006-07 for half a year and $73,871 annually thereafter for court appointed attorneys at $50Ihour. 
Saving in Corrections will come from reduced overtime of probation officers and reduction of $19,690 of expenditures 
in the County Jail Prisoner Support and Community Corrections Fund. Because the reduction in overtime in fiscal 
year 2006-07 is for half a year only, the department has agreed to delay purchasing cars to allow some additional 
savings to accrue in fiscal year 2006-07 only. 
The numbers in the table above reflect the incremental changes this amendment makes to the bill as engrossed. As 
amended, the overall impact is a net cost to the General Fund of $37,516 annually beginning in fiscal year 2007-08.
