(1) The general assembly hereby finds that:
(a) Ensuring the safety of employees and users of state court facilities is a significant component of ensuring access to justice for the people of the state of Colorado;
(b) Responsibility for providing security for state court facilities lies with the county governments; and
(c) Colorado is a geographically, demographically, and economically diverse state and this diversity affects the funding and services of individual counties. Although the provision of security for state court facilities is a county responsibility, the variation in funds available to individual counties may not allow fundamental security measures to be met in each county.
(2) The general assembly, therefore, determines and declares that:
(a) The creation of the court security cash fund commission and the court security cash fund will be beneficial to, and in the best interests of, the people of the state of Colorado; and
(b) The goals of the commission and the cash fund shall be to:
(I) Provide supplemental funding for ongoing security staffing in the counties with the most limited financial resources; and
(II) Provide moneys to counties for court security equipment costs, training of local security teams on issues of state court security, and emergency needs related to court security.
