XX, Sec. 12 Funding and fees

Family recovery court programs can get money from several sources. This includes the Administrative Office of the Courts (AOC), federal grants, money set aside by state or local government, or non-profit groups. These funding sources can also be combined. Normally, the AOC has to be the one applying for and receiving any grants or donations, and it manages that money. A program can only handle grants or donations on its own if the Director of AOC gives written permission first.

The second part of this rule protects people who take part in these programs. No one can be charged a fee just to participate in a family recovery court program. This means money can never be a barrier that keeps someone out of the program or a requirement they have to meet to join.
