. (a) For each fee received for providing telephone appearance
services, each vendor or court that provides for appearances by
telephone shall transmit twenty dollars ($20) to the State Treasury
for deposit in the Trial Court Trust Fund established pursuant to
Section 68085. If the vendor or court receives a portion of the fee
as authorized under paragraph (2) of subdivision (b) of Section 367.6
of the Code of Civil Procedure, the vendor or court shall transmit
only the proportionate share of the amount required under this
section. This section shall apply regardless of whether the Judicial
Council has established the statewide uniform fee pursuant to Section
367.6 of the Code of Civil Procedure, or entered into one or more
master agreements pursuant to Section 72010 of this code. This
section shall not apply when a vendor or court does not receive a
fee.
(b) The amounts described in subdivision (a) shall be transmitted
within 15 days after the end of each calendar quarter for fees
collected in that quarter.
(c) Vendors shall also transmit an amount equal to the total
amount of revenue received by all courts from all vendors for
providing telephonic appearances for the 2009-10 fiscal year.
(d) The amount set forth in subdivision (c) shall be apportioned
by the Judicial Council among the vendors with which the Judicial
Council has a master agreement pursuant to Section 72010. Within 15
days of receiving notice from the Judicial Council of its apportioned
amount, each vendor shall transmit that amount to the State Treasury
for deposit in the Trial Court Trust Fund.
(e) The Judicial Council shall allocate the amount collected
pursuant to subdivisions (c) and (d) for the purpose of preventing
significant disruption in services in courts that previously received
revenues from vendors for providing telephone appearance services.
The Judicial Council shall determine the method and amount of the
allocation to each eligible court.
