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.Section 218.32, F.S.,
