(Subscription required) Newsom’s office announced the signing of Assembly Bill 179 from Assemblymember Phil Ting, D-San Francisco, one of the bills that implement the new state budget, and which shows many millions in approved IT spend. Among them: $70 million for the Judicial Council to fund “local assistance to each superior court” based on its county’s proportion of residents ages 18-25. The money can be used for “costs for technology to facilitate information exchange and process automation between courts and county departments.”
