                          BUDGET HIGHLIGHTS
                   (Executive Budget: pp. 337-338)

The Interest on Lawyers Account (IOLA) was established in 1983 to
finance civil legal services for those who cannot afford such
services, and for the elderly and disabled.  Funding for civil legal
services is derived from interest earned on trust accounts that
attorneys hold for their clients, which would not earn interest for
their clients if held in a separate escrow account.

IOLA is included in the Public Protection and General Government
appropriation bill.

The Executive proposes an All Funds appropriation of $16,509,000, an
increase of $116,000 less than one percent over the State Fiscal Year
(SFY) 2001-02 fund level.

State Operations

The Executive recommends a Fiduciary Fund appropriation of $1,559,000,
an increase of $116,000 or 8.0 percent from SFY 2001-02 for salary
adjustments and other costs associated with agency operations.

Aid to Localities

The Executive recommends a Fiduciary Fund appropriation of
$14,950,000.  This represents no change from the appropriation
contained in the SFY 2001-02 enacted State budget.  Actual grants made
pursuant to this appropriation are subject to the availability of
funds in the IOLA Fiduciary Account.
