Staff Analysis of the Legislation

      HB 738 seeks to amend O.C.G.A. ยง36-15-7 relating to the use of law library funds. The bill calls for the dispersion of funds specifically from the board of trustees either through its granting to charitable tax exempt organizations or in its use for purchases for the office of the district attorney, solicitor-general, or for county judicial facilities as long as county commissioners are provided with receipts from such transactions. Excess funds are to be utilized for similar purchases for the courthouse itself.
