A. There is hereby created in the State Treasury a revolving

fund for the Supreme Court to be designated the "Law Library

Revolving Fund". The fund shall be a continuing fund, not subject

to fiscal year limitations, and shall consist of all monies

collected by the clerks of the district court for law libraries as

prescribed by law, the sales of any law library books or equipment,

charges for services, gifts, grants, private donations, and federal

funding. All monies accruing to the credit of the fund are hereby

appropriated and may be budgeted and expended by the Supreme Court

upon approval of the Chief Justice for:

1. The payment of charges due and owing by county law libraries

at the time this statute is enacted;

2. The purchase of books, journals, publications, computer-

assisted research devices and services, computer equipment and

maintenance, communication charges, and other necessary equipment,

services, and fixtures;

3. The payment of the salaries and benefits of personnel to

administer the law libraries and assist in the purchase, sale, and

inventory of books and equipment and the payment of all bills due

and owing by county law libraries. Without regard for the county in

which bills were incurred or monies accrued, all monies received in

the fund shall be combined and all bills paid from this fund;

4. The payment of incidental expenses as established in rules

promulgated by the Supreme Court;

5. The payment of expenses occurring as the result of a natural

disaster, accident, or equipment malfunction which is not reasonably

foreseeable;

6. No initial orders or renewals for printed materials not

previously on subscription may be placed after July 1, 1997; and

7. On or before August 1, 1997, the Administrative Director of

the Courts shall solicit proposals for electronic research services

to be provided to county law libraries if funds are available. Such

proposals shall provide both compact disc and Internet access

capabilities.

Expenditures from this fund shall be made upon warrants issued

by the State Treasurer against claims filed as prescribed by law

with the Director of the Office of Management and Enterprise

Services for approval and payment.

B. Until June 30, 2021, the Office of Management and Enterprise

Services shall, at the request of the Administrative Director of the

Courts, transfer any monies from the Law Library Revolving Fund to

the Supreme Court Administrative Revolving Fund or the Interagency

Reimbursement Fund as necessary to perform the duties imposed upon

the Supreme Court, Court of Civil Appeals and district courts by

law.
