Frequently Asked Questions

7. How will courts seek approval for changes in personnel classifications? Will courts continue to use the process in place now? What happens if the county is currently considering reclassification? Will coordinated courts, with sufficient budgeted funds, be permitted to reclassify positions in accordance with the model trial court system and improve salaries in accord with TCBC [Trial Court Budget Commission] ranges?

AB 233[ The Trial Court Funding Act of 1997] did not change the existing systems or processes for approval of classification or reclassification of court employees. Therefore, all courts will continue to operate under existing practices and procedures, unless otherwise mutually agreed upon by the court and the county.
