Background and Discussion:
These grants are awarded to support MDL pre-trial judges and the court staff who serve them. These programs enable the MDL system to operate more efficiently and achieve the Legislature's goals of justice and efficiency (see TEX. Gov't Code ?74.162).
Expected Impact:
The County will be reimbursed by the grantor for program expenses incurred, there is no cash match requirement and therefore no impact on the general fund.
