                          BUDGET HIGHLIGHTS
                  (Executive Budget: pp. 373 - 375)

The Interest on Lawyers Account (IOLA) was established in 1983 to finance civil 
legal services for those who cannot afford such services, and for the elderly 
and disabled.  Funding for civil legal services is derived from interest earned
on trust accounts that attorneys hold for their clients and which would not earn 
interest for the clients if held in a separate escrow account.

State Operations

The Executive recommends a Fiduciary Fund appropriation of $1,443,000, an  
increase of $253,000 for salary adjustments and other costs associated with 
agency operations.

Aid to Localities

The Executive recommends a Fiduciary Fund appropriation of $14,950,000.  This 
represents no change from the appropriation contained in the State Fiscal Year 
2000-01 enacted State budget.  Actual grants made pursuant to this appropriation 
are subject to the availability of funds in the IOLA Fiduciary Account.
