Inflation and budget cuts will reduce San Bernardino Superior Court’s funding by 8% for the next fiscal year, according to the allocation of funds decided by the Judicial Council of California July 12. Riverside Superior Court will suffer a 4% loss in funding.
Funding to California’s Judicial Branch was cut by a nominal $97 million, which comes to -5% compared to the last budget, and inflation has held at 3%.
“We are aware of the severity and potential impacts that a budget deficit can create for our court, but we remain resolute in our efforts to continue to provide access to justice to the community we serve,” said San Bernardino Presiding Judge
