Oklahoma Statutes - Title 20. Courts

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.
