Information System Revolving Fund.

A. 1. The Supreme Court, by and through the Office of the Administrative Director of the Courts, shall establish a court information system to be designated the "Oklahoma Court Information System" for the purpose of providing data processing services to state agencies, boards, and commissions and other entities pursuant to contract. The Administrative Director of the Courts may assess a reasonable fee for such services.

2. Court clerks and judges of the district courts of this state shall utilize the case tracking, accounting, legal research, and other services of the "Oklahoma Court Information System" at the direction of the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court. The development and implementation of the system's accounting, auditing, and financial reporting functions shall be subject to the approval of the State Auditor and Inspector.

B. There is hereby created in the State Treasury a revolving fund for the Supreme Court to be designated the "Oklahoma Court Information System Revolving Fund". The fund shall be a continuing fund, not subject to fiscal year limitations, and shall consist of all monies received in payment of data processing services furnished pursuant to contract. The Administrative Director of the Courts, at the end of each month, shall issue a statement of charges to each entity for which data processing services were furnished.

The cost for data processing services shall be recovered directly from the entity for which such services were furnished and shall not be prorated to or payable by those not receiving the services. All monies accruing to the credit of the fund are hereby appropriated and may be budgeted and expended by the Supreme Court for the acquisition, operation, maintenance, repair, and replacement of data processing equipment and software and for the operational expenses of any court which is subject to the authority of the Administrative Director of the Courts.

Expenditures from the fund shall be made upon warrants issued by the State Treasurer against claims filed as prescribed by law with the Director of the Office of Management and Enterprise Services for approval and payment. Until June 30, 2018, the Office of Management and Enterprise Services shall, at the request of the Administrative Director of the Courts, transfer an amount not to exceed Five Million Dollars ($5,000,000.00) from the Oklahoma Court Information System Revolving Fund to the District Court Interagency Reimbursement Fund an amount that the Administrative Director of the Courts, with the approval of the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court, shall deem appropriate and necessary to perform the duties imposed upon the district courts by law.
