			(1)	The local court can demonstrate that for at least two consecutive years in the previous four years it spent more than 20 percent of its interpreter funds on independent contractor interpreters or part-time employees who provided services in any of the languages described in subdivision (b) of Section 1632 of the Civil Code.
			(2)	The local court can demonstrate that the grant will be exclusively used to hire full-time court employee interpreters providing language interpreter services for the languages described in subdivision (b) of Section 1632 of the Civil Code, in order to reduce the percentage of the court’s interpreter funds spent on independent contractors or part-time employees to 20 percent or less than 20 percent.
			(3)	The local court can demonstrate that a new full-time employee hired pursuant to this grant is intended to remain employed beyond the grant year to replace a roughly equivalent expenditure on independent contractor interpreter services.
			(4)	The local court commits to retaining the court interpreter employee position beyond the grant year.
			(5)	Nothing in this subdivision is intended to reduce the amount of funding provided statewide or to local courts for interpreter services, and the amounts allocated by this provision cannot be used to supplant an existing, pending, or prior interpreter employee position.
		(b)	Of this amount, $12,000,000 in one-time grants, shall be allocated by the Judicial Council, to increase language access in local courts through the hiring of certified court interpreter employees who shall provide interpreter services inside courthouses in support of court users. “Interpreter services” includes assistance at self-help centers and interpreting interviews between district attorneys and witnesses and criminal defense attorneys and their clients. A local court is eligible to receive these funds only if at least 80 percent of interpreter services in the languages described in subdivision (b) of Section 1632 of the Civil Code are provided by court interpreter employees.
		(c)	Courts may apply for grants to hire interpreters in other languages if the court can demonstrate that there is a local need for interpreter employees in other languages.

	30	Of the funds appropriated in Schedule (1), $30,000,000 shall be allocated by the Judicial Council in a manner that ensures all courts are allocated funds to be utilized exclusively to increase the number of court reporters in family law and civil law cases. This funding shall not supplant existing trial court expenditures on court reporters in family law and civil law cases.
	31.	Of the funds appropriated in Schedule (1), $7,000,000 shall be available for the Judicial Council to establish a methodology to allocate a share of resources to all courts to cover the costs associated with the increased transcript rates.
