Summary
The Court Unification and State-Wide Funding report assesses the financial implications of transitioning Philadelphia’s court system funding to the state as mandated by Pennsylvania Supreme Court rulings. The report warns that legislative delays and limited state commitments could leave the City financially exposed, potentially creating a $400 million shortfall over the five-year financial plan. It recommends maintaining contingency funding while advocating for full state support to ensure financial stability and prevent budgetary imbalances.
