Each bienniurn, an appropriation is provided by the Washington State
Legislature to the AOC to offset the costs associated with the processing ancl
case management of Becca referrals. ln the 2023-202s Biennium, the
appropriations equal $7 million per fiscal year.
The Legislature also provides the following direction through budget proviso:
"The administrator for the caufts, in conjunctian with the juvenile courl
administrafots, shai/ develop an equitable funding distribution formults.
The forrnula ntust neither rewarcJ counties wittt higher than average pcr-
petition/referral processittg cosls nor shatl it penalize counties with lower
than average per-petition/referraI processing cosfs. "
Allocation of the funding is based on calendar year caseload ciata from each
county for cHlNS, ARY, and rruarrcy filings. The cl".llNS and ARy filing data
is available through the online caseloads of ilre courts of washington
Reports. rhe source of 1-ruancy filings is a query from the JLrdiciai
lnformation System (JlS)/EDR Slatewide cJatabase arrd limited to 0-.16 year-
olcls.
The AOC Comptroller nraintains an allocatiorr spreaclsheet. The calculation is
as follows:. sums three years of cHINS ancl AlRy filings and calculates a percentage
of tlre total for each county.. sums three years of rruancy filings limited to 0-16-year-olds and
calculates a percentage of the total for eaclr county.
' Applies a weighted allocation to the total funding, 46 percent 6f 1re Ct"llNS
and ARY / 54 percent of the Truancy filings. Allocate s the total available
furrdirrg based upon the weiglrted aliocation percentage.. A snrall county basc is established at $5,000. where counties,weighted
allocation results in less than gS,000 for the fiscal year, then those
allocations are set at $5,000 and all other courrtics' weighted allocations
are lowered to cover the small county base.. Additionally, for FY 2a24, acijustments v/ere made to the fornrula inresponse to the impacts of the covlD jg panclenric orr case filings.
