HEARING ON HOUSE BILL 903

Presentation and Opening Statement by Sponsor:

Representative David Hoffman, District 74, presented the bill for Reoresentat~ve ·John Cobb, Soonsor. He said the bill appropriates funds to the Supreme Court for court automation, and that the issue, now, is funding. He explained that the bill was originally to be funded by a one dollar motor vehicle charge, but this was changed in the House.

Proponents' Testimony:

Jim Oppedahl, Supreme Court Administrator, said the bill brings the Montana judiciary out of the eighteenth century, and puts it into the twentieth and twenty-first centuries, via an appropriation from a special revenue account in the Department of Social and Rehabi':'itative Services (SRS).

SENATE JUDICIARY COMMITTEE April 11, 1991

Mr. Oooedahl told the Committee he believes the bill is cost-... -

effective, and would provide uniformity, as well as staff training in t~e use of software. He said the Court has been working on this for the past two and one-half to three years, and that very little is automated in the district courts right now. He reported that some offices were still using carbon paper until two years ago, and that some had no place to plug a computer in.

Mr. Oppedahl advised the Corrmittee that t~ere are more than 3,000 personal computers (PCs)in state government and the University system. He stated that, three years ago, the Supreme Court had one PC XT, and that automation in the courts has been studied and standards adopted for PCs with MS DOS.

Mr. Oppedah1 further stated that the First Judicial District has about 20 PCs which are linked together. He provided an overhead projector and screen to show the Committee the Menu on the PCs, and said the State seal and appropriate headings are printed on each letter. Mr. Oppedahl advised the Committee that the PCs also have calculator and calendar abilities in their menus.

Mr. Oppedahl told the Commi t tee the Cour t has developed a civil case management system with a menu for inserting appropriate material. He said the system tracks plaintiffs, defendants, title of action, and other necessary information. Mr. Oppedahl showed an example of a current civil case and the tracking of action and judgements in that case. He said the system can also track resti tution payments and do random jury selection which is a dramatic change from twenty years ago.

Mr. Oooedahl stated that the cases a judge deals with are not a lot different from legislative bill hearings. He said he believes the system will work well, and that the courts are at the turning point in terms of court automation. Mr. Oppedahl further stated that, "the courts can wiggle into this over a number of years". He said the Supreme Court has ordered that only certain kinds of soft and hardware may be used in all courts in all counties.

Mr. Oooedahl advised the Committee that there are 36 District Court Judges, 56 Clerks of Court, and 125 Justices of the Peace and Ci:.y Judges. He reported that he received a letter from Julia Robinson, Director, SRS, who said she doubted all the dollars app:opr iated by the Legislature are really there. Mr. Oppedahl proposed amending the bill to procure funds from another special cas~ revenue account which should be dumped back into the General Fund (Sxhi~it #1). He said SRS knows about the amendment, and that it s~ou:d provide between $1.5 and $2 million.

Mr. Oppedahl told the Co~~ittee that the Legislative Auditor rec~~~enced, in his April 1990 report, that these dollars be put back into the General Fund, but it needs federal approval. He said the a::1.enc::1.ent also proposes federal spending authorization of S20S,:)OO, as it \'lil1 take severa: years to purc~ase t~e needed


of 10

equipment. He said the Court would apply for a federal match, if necessary, and that the Court would aggressively go after dollars in the Board of C:ime Control.

Mr. Oppedahl stated that if HB 903 had passed the House, the Court would have received $1.5 million, and that would have worked. He said that if t!1e Court had to go back to $420,000 for the biennium, it would not work, and that it is up to t!1e Legislature to provide a source of funding and to encourage automation of the judiciary. He provided copies of letters from the Attorney General, Chief Jus:ice Turnage, the League of Women Voters, and the President of the Montana Magistrates in support ofHB 903 (Exhibits #2, #3, and #4).

Clara Gilbreath, Clerk of t~e 9istrict Court, Lewis and Clark County, said the County has a pilot automation program. She explained that there would be tax relief, as she uses four civil books per year at a cost of $863 each. She commented that her staff will not have to lift the heavy books because of automation, and that it will resolve records storage problems. Mrs. Gilbreath told the Committee that the Supreme Court has done a good job in starting t~e automation process.

Allen Chronister"Montana State Bar Association, stated that automation is a necessity and not a luxury. He advised the Committee that almost all attorney's offices are automated, as are most court reporters. He said he believes District Court filings will one day be made via computer disks.

Mike McGrath, Montana County Attorneys, said he supported the bill, and believes it is a great program.

~om Harrison, Montana Association of Clerks of Court, said computers in law offices are connected to the Legislative computers for monitoring of the process. He urged the Committee to support t~e bill.

Onnonents' Testimonv:

~here were no opponents of t~e bill.

Questions From Committee Members:

Senator Svrcek asked how the Suoreme Court would feel about split':inS :':s salary raises with this program. Mr. Oppedahl replied that is another specific process.

Senator Towe asked if HB 903 were addressed in the budget bill, HB 2. Jim Oooedahl replied that only the continuation of funding for two software specialists in his office (at $100,000 eac~ year of t~e b:en~:um) ~as included in HB 2. He said amendment ;3, subsection (3) would knock this language out, and commented that, originally, funding was $750,000 annually. He said this is not t~e case now, and that he doesn't believe t~e Court can pay for

JU04ll9l.SMl


of 10

100 percent of necessary equipment over t~e next five years without $3 or $4 million :or automation. Mr. Oppedahl explained that $200,000 0: federal funds is spending authority, and that if the Court doesn't get the grants, it won't spend the money. He said the $420,000 in the bill is out 0: the special revenue account in SRS.

Closing by Sponsor:

Representative Hof:man said he believed Jim Oppedahl explained the b~:: very well. He asked that Senator Waterman carry the bill.

..)tion:

Discussion:

Senator Ear~ said that two Sessions ago, Ravalli County tried to add a twenty-~irst judicial district in Lake County.


Valencia Lane advised the Co~~ittee that the amendments take out the study and the appropriation :or it, and put in 3-5-101, MCA, providing that a judge ~~ke his or her seat on January 1, 1993 (Exhibit #5).

Senator Towe asked if the proponents demonstrated the need for a new judicial district. Chairman Pinsoneault replied that, from personal experience, it takes fo~r to six years to get a trial in

JU041191.S~1


of 10

Ravalli County. He said he believes a study commission is foolish, and that there was opposition to fundi~g a study commission.

Senator Towe stated he served on a study commission in 1975, and that the Cornmi t tee needs to cons ider that it may be more effective to add a judge to the existing district, rather than to create another cistrict. He explai~ed that time left over from Rava~li County could be given to Missou~a County.

Senator ~ar'.J mace a motion that the proposed amendments (Exhi!Jit #5) be approved. The motion carried with all members voting aye except Se~ator Mazurek, who voted no.

Chairman Pinsoneault said he planned to address Senator Towe's concerns in a Conference Committee.

Reco~mendation and Vote:

Se~ator Harp made a motion that HB 934 BE CONCURRED IN AS AME~8E~. ~he ~otion carried unanimously.


Motion:

Discussion:

Representative Ben Cohen, District 3, provided copies of the second reading (yellow) of HB 778 which, he said, defines hunting anc fishing as general recreational use, and defines bird watching, berry picking, skiing, etc, as special recreational use (Exhibit #6). 2e said that the bird watcher or herbalist can go on state lands free, but he is concerned with requiring that people pay for the general use of state forest lands.

Representative Cohen asked what would happen if a hunter shot a deer and it wandered from federa~ lands to-state lands, but the hunter did not have a ryermit. He said he was concerned that HB 778 is a broader invasion of the Sage Brush Rebellion. Representative Cohen recommended amending the bill to the way it was on the House Floor, as it recognizes the right of people to free recreational use.

Representative Cohen advised the Co~mittee that the yellow, second reading copy of the bill came out of the House Natural Resources Committee. He told the Co~~ittee that the Wyoming Board of Lands has taken action which reduced damage complaints from 200 per year to 50 per year, and asked the Committee to look at this.

Representative Dave Brown cou~tered Representative Cohen's statement, anc said he hoped the Co~~ittee wouldn't ignore the 48 people who testified i~ suppor~ of ~s 778 at the Senate hearing.

J8041191.S1'-':1


of 10

He said the bill was resisted by Representatives Cohen and Raney in the House, and that the issues revolved around paying $5 per year £or £ishing and hunting, and the Educational Trust under Sections IV a~d V:: of t~e Constitution. Representative Brown said their arg~~ents a sign~£icantly flawed in those areas, as values are not establis~ed for any use other than hunting and fishing. He further s~a~ed t~at Section 7, on page 23 of the bill, allows the Board to adop~ r~:es for special use licenses if values change, and that the :::any lessees, laneowner 3, and s?or ':sme:1 he spoke wi th gave no speci£ic ob:ect~on to this.

Senator ~owe askee what would happen if there were substantial :~~erest ::1 bird watching on state lanes. John North, Attorney, State :ancs, reolied that if the Soard decided bird watching was of interest on state lands, 1~ could adopt a rule for general recrea~ional use.

k~endments, Discussion, and Votes:

~here were none.

Senator Halligan ~ade a motion to approve the amendments. The motion carried unanimously.

Senator Grosfield stated he had another amendment which was not drafted by Valencia Lane. He said Section 4 addresses crisis intervention subject to available appropriations, and that he wanted to tie that to the same language in the first two sections.

Senator Pinsoneault stated that he has the same concerns.

Senator Halligan made a motion to change the effective date to July 1, 1993, to give DFS time to work on a funding source and crisis intervention. The motion carried unanimously.

Motion:

Discussion:


Valencia Lane explained the amendments requested by Joe Roberts, Montana County Attorneys Association (Exhibit ~~.

Mr. Roberts said the amendment asks for a flat $52,000 salary for county attorneys. He explained that the income generated by the surCharge would be adequate.

Senator Halligan made a motion to approve the amendments. The motion carried unanimously.

Senator Doherty asked if anyone is uncomfortable with the Constitutional problems alluded to concerning the surcharge. Senator Mazurek replied that there may be merit to what has been said, but former Senator Aklestad did the same thing in the mid-80s and that action has been unchallenged, to this point.

Sena tor Svrcek commented that, if the bill passes, county attorney salaries would only be $4,000 less than that of the Attorney General.

C~airman Pinsoneault commented that he intends to amend that figure on the Senator floor, as he believes it is too much.

Senator ~azurek stated that he believed Marc Racicot took a pay cut to beco~e Attorney General.

Motion:

Discussion:


Jim Oooedahl said there are three technical things in the amendments: 1) inserting the word "fund" following "from state general"; 2) changing to "Department of Social and Rehabilitative Services" in amendment #6; and 3) changing to "must" deposit money in federal revenue account.

Senator Towe stated he is torn about this, as it needs to be done, but $420,000 comes out of the General Fund.

Senator Mazurek s~id he assumes the bill is being tracked on the ~egislative Fiscal Analyst's revenue list.

Jim Oppedahl stated that the special revenue account money should be deposited into the General Fund, as recommended by the ~egislative Auditor in his April 1990 report (Exhibit #9).

ATTORNEY GENERAL STATE OF MONT.Al~A

Mr. R. J. "Dick" Pinsoneault, Chairman Senate Judiciary Committee Montana State Senate State Capitol Helena, Montana

Dear Chairman Pinsoneault:

Justice Building Helena, Montana 59620

I would like to go on record supporting HB 903 which provides improvement funding for Montana's courts.

This bill would establish a systematic, uniform automation plan for our courts that would greatly help the courts and those who work with the courts to provide better, more timely service to our citizens.

As you know, the Justice Department has contact with virtually all our courts. The uniform automation of courts -- which will be on the same standard used by the Justice Department -- would greatly facilitate our work and pay benefits to the entire justice system.

I strongly urge the Committee to seriously consider HB 903.

J. A. TURNAGE CHIEF JUSTICE

April 11, 1991

THE SUPREME COURT OF MONTANA

Mr. R. J. "Dick" Pinsoneault, Chairman Senate Judiciary Committee State Capitol Helena, Montana

Dear Dick:

JUSTICE BUILDING 215 NORTH SANDERS

HELENA, MONTANA 59620-3001 TELEPHONE (406) 444-2621

On behalf of the entire Court, I wish to express our appreciation for the Senate Judiciary's support of court improvement efforts in the area of automation in past sessions.

This is a critical area for Montana courts if we are going to meet the challenge to improve the administration and operations of our courts. As you know, Montana courts are desperately in need of modern tools to keep up with increasing caseloads and the complexity of current litigation. We can no longer do that with carbon paper and big 'red ledger books!

The Supreme Court has taken a leadership role in this area by seeking to promote automation in the Judiciary while at the same time trying to ensure that automation is planned, cost effective, and uniform.

While the court can encourage and provide leadership, we can only accomplish our goals with the support and aid of the Legislature.

I believe that we are at a critical turning point. The Judiciary is ready and willing to meet the challenge of improving the administration of justice through the use of modern tools. But, we cannot accomplish this in a cost-effective, uniform manner unless we have help. Without help, I believe that the Judicial system will be left to drift and that we will all pay a larger cost later to set our house in order.

Again, we very much appreciate your support and that of the Senate Judiciary Committee. We trust that this Legislature can find a way to support our court improvement efforts.

THE LEAGUE OF WOMEN VOTERS OF MONTANA

Joy Bruck, President 1601 Illinois, Helena, Montana 59601

HB 903: An act providing for court automation ....

The League of Women Voters of Montana supports HB 903.

The League of Women Voters of Montana has supported for many years efforts at improving the administration of the Montana Judiciary. We believe that it is vitally important to encourage and provide all Montana courts with the modern tools that they need in order to better manage a very large case load, to insure that laws enacted by the Legislature can be adequately implemented, and to protect our citizen's right to speedy adjudication of cases.

HB 903 is an effort to provide a planned, uniform, and cost effective approach to court automation. The League of Women Voters of Montana urges the House Judiciary Committee to give ser ious consideration to this court improvement effort and to give a DO PASS recommendation to HB 903.

FROM RICHLAND COUNTY TO J P

GREGORY P. MOHR . Rich land County Justice of (he Peace

123 ~Vest Main - Sidney, MT 59270 (406)482-2815

March 6, 1991

Mr. Bill Stri~ich Chairman, House Judiciary Committee

Re: House Bill 903

Dear Chairman Strizich:

I am writing this letter in support of H.B.903. The Montana Judiciary has long been behind in the needed technology to effiCiently perform its duty. The caseloads in all three levels of the Montana Courc system have increased dramatically. We need computerization to meet and keep up with this continuing demand. H.B.903 will aid in a faster, more effic~ent judiciary.

I urge you and the other members of the House judiciary Committee to vote in favor of H.B.903.

Thank you,

S~\-/k Gregory P. Mohr Justice of the Peace/City Judge

Montana Magistrates Association

March 7, 1991

HB 903, an act to create a court automation account

Testimony by Pat Bradly, Lobbyist for the Montana Magistrates Assn.

Mr. Chairman and Committee Members:

The Montana Magistrates Association rises in support of HB 903.

The Montana Courts of Limited Jurisdiction handle some 300,000 cases a year and manage budget and accounting systems involving several millio.n ....... dollars.

Uniform court automation will provide the courts with modern equipment to manage their case loads with time and cost efficiency, which, in turn, will offer an effective return on money invested. Improved efficiency will serve Montana citizens well.

The judicial branch of government should certainly keep up with the same automated st~ndards as the legislative and executive departments.

We urge that you do pass HB 903.

Thank you.

Grant Close Out When the Montana Department of Community Affairs (DCA) merged into the Department of Commerce in 1981, SRS assumed administrative responsibility for certain grants. These grants include the Low Income Housing Energy Assistance program (CFDA #13.789) and the Weatherization program (CFDA

#81.042) presently administered by the department. The responsibility included monitoring subrecipient final reports and collecting unused sub recipient grant funds. During our last audit, agency personnel estimated that the state expended and could recover from the federal government $463,169 for indirect costs on these grants. The personnel believed that the $463,169 could be transferred to the General Fund when the grants are closed. Although the department concurred with our recommendation to close the grants and deposit the indirect cost reimbursements in the General Fund, SRS still has a cash balance of $420,798 in the Special Revenue Fund connected with these grants.

SRS has not completed the recovery process by dosing the grants and depositing the money in the General Fund. State law requires grantee agencies to negotiate indirect cost rates and endeavor, to the fullest extent possible, to recover indirect costs of federal assistance programs. In October 1983, SRS management directed its fiscal bureau staff to contact federal program auditors and submit a written claim for indirect cost moneys. A department official said federal personnel were contacted by phone several years ago, and again in the past year. Federal officials involved with one of the grants responded in June 1989 .. However, the department has not been contacted by federal agencies concerning closeouts of the other Community Affairs grants. The department official said SRS did not initiate additional actions during the audit period because the individual assigned the task was delegated other administrative duties .
