Compendium of Budget Information for the 2010 General Session

Executive Offices & Criminal Justice
Appropriations Subcommittee

Function

The Utah Prosecution Council (UPC) conducts prosecution training sessions and seminars statewide, assists with legal research, and produces a monthly newsletter.

Although the Prosecution Council is independent of the Attorney General's Office and has a separate board of directors, it is housed with the A.G.'s Office for purposes of budgeting, accounting, and management efficiency.

Through a grant from the Commission on Criminal and Juvenile Justice (CCJJ), UPC developed a case management system that is used by city and county prosecution offices. The program automates many prosecutorial functions, tracks cases and parties, and collects prosecution statistics.

Statutory Authority

Statutory Authority governing the Prosecution Council is found in UCA 67 Chapter 5a. The statutory charge of the council is to: '(a) provide training and continuing legal education for the State and local prosecutors; (b) provide assistance to local prosecutors; and (c) as funds are available provide reimbursement for unusual expenses relative to prosecution for violations of State Laws.'

Intent Language

Under Section 63J-1-401 and 63J-1-402 of the Utah Code, the Legislature intends that any remaining funds shall not lapse at the close of fiscal year 2009.

Funding Detail

The Prosecution Council line item has only one program. The council is mostly funded from the Public Safety Support Fund/Criminal Fine Surcharge collected by the courts. Dedicated Credits come from conference registration fees and Statewide Association of Prosecutors dues.
