Board of Commissioners of County of Franklin v. Twentieth Judicial Circuit
Annotate this Case
The Supreme Court affirmed the decision of the Judicial Finance Commission (JFC) dismissing the Board of Commissioners of Franklin County's petition for review disputing whether the statutory maintenance of effort (MOE) operated as a statutory cap on its obligation to fund the Twentieth Judicial Circuit Court's Juvenile Division, holding that there was no error.
When the Franklin County Commission and a judge of the Twentieth Circuit met to discuss the 2021 budget, the parties could not agree whether Franklin County would provide only the statutorily required MOE funding for the Juvenile Division. The Commission filed a petition for review with the JFC seeking a declaration that it would be not compelled to allocate and pay more than the MOE funding for the Juvenile Division. The JFC dismissed the action. The Supreme Court affirmed, holding that the JFC did not err in dismissing the Commission's petition for review.
