EXCERPT: “WHEREAS, in November 1998, Florida voters approved an amendment to Article V of the Florida Constitution, which relates to funding for the Judicial Branch of government. The amendment, referred to as Revision 7, changes how our courts will be funded. Revision 7 transfers financial responsibility from 67 counties to the State. The State of Florida largely now requires uniformity of statistical information for court related expenses and other matters.
WHEREAS, Florida Rules of Court (Rule 2.050) states that the chief judge “shall exercise administrative supervision over all courts within the judicial circuit in the exercise of judicial power and over the judges and officers of the court” and “shall develop an administrative plan for the efficient and proper administration of all courts within that circuit”, which includes a “mandatory periodic review of the status of the inmates of the county jail;” and
WHEREAS, standardization of Seminole County’s Arrest Affidavit has increased efficiency, effectiveness, statistical information and sharing of information among various state, county, and municipal agencies; (Open AO for more information.)”
