Financial Impact:

The adopted budget for FY 2024-25 includes adequate funding within budget unit 2026-53230.

 

Background Information:

The Superior Court of Tehama County engages five local attorneys as Public Defenders to provide legal representation to indigent individuals. Due to the temporary unavailability of another Public Defender, the Court has assigned additional cases to Ms. Chopra that fall outside the current contract's scope. This amendment will enable Ms. Chopra to provide legal representation to indigent clients as assigned by the Court and to receive compensation for these additional services.
