Article V:

In June of 2009, the Legislature passed FL Laws Ch.2009-61 (SB1718) and FL Laws Ch.2009-204 (SB2108) which changed the responsibilities of the Article V Section. The Clerks of Court Operations Corporation (CCOC) is now administratively housed within the Justice Administrative Commission (JAC). Each clerk is required to prepare a budget request based on unit cost for each service unit. The unit costs will be developed by the CCOC in consultation with the Supreme Court, the Chief Financial Officer (CFO) and representatives from the Legislature. The CFO will review the proposed unit costs associated with each clerk of the court’s budget request and make recommendations to the Legislature Periodic on-site reviews of the Clerk of the Circuit Courts are performed to ensure compliance with Florida Statutes. In addition, the CFO and the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court, at their discretion, may request an audit of the CCOC or any clerk of the circuit court.
