Senate Sponsors: HAWKINSON. House Sponsors: BROSNAHAN Short description: CNTY CD-STATES ATTORNY-SUBSIDY Synopsis of Bill as introduced: Amends the Counties Code. Provides that the State subsidies for the salaries of assistant State's attorneys must be paid to the counties on a monthly basis (rather than on an annual basis). Provides that the amount appropriated for the subsidies must be segregated by county population classification. Provides that if the appropriation is insufficient to pay all of the subsidies, the amount appropriated must first be prorated among the different classes of counties and then among the counties participating within each classification (rather than having the amounts prorated among the counties participating). Provides that if any appropriated moneys for a population classification remain at the end of a fiscal year, the remainder may be allocated to participating counties that were not fully funded during the course of the year. Allows 2 or more State's attorneys to combine their subsidies and to appoint a joint assistant State's attorney to prosecute alcohol-related traffic offenses in multiple counties.
