*********** ANALYSIS ADDENDUM - SUSPENSE FILE ***********
The following information is revised to reflect amendments
adopted by the committee on August 11, 2016
Bill
Summary: AB 2882, the annual judiciary omnibus bill, would make
numerous changes to the Family Code, as well as authorize the
Judicial Council to convert 10 subordinate judicial officers
(SJOs) to judgeships in the 2016-17 fiscal year if the
conversion would result in a judge being assigned to a family
law or juvenile law assignment, as specified.
Fiscal
Impact:
SJO conversion : Annual costs of about $300,000 (General Fund*)
for the conversion of 10 SJOs to judgeships, based on the salary

and benefit differential of the two positions. The Judicial
Council has indicated these costs will be funded through the
reallocation of funds in the Trial Court Trust Fund.

Committee
Amendments: Delete Section 8 of the bill, which would have
allowed a person, who previously accrued child support arrears
between July 1, 2011, and July 1, 2015, and who was eligible for
an adjustment of those arrears because of incarceration or
institutionalization during that period, based on a previously
existing provision of law, to petition the court to adjust those
arrears pursuant to that then-existing provision.
