13830.  There is hereby created in state government a Judicial
Criminal Justice Planning Committee of seven members.  The Judicial

   (a) The California court system has a constitutionally established
independence under the judicial and separation of power clauses of
the State Constitution.
   (b) The California court system has a statewide structure created
under the Constitution, state statutes and state court rules, and the
Judicial Council of California is the constitutionally established
state agency having responsibility for the operation of that
structure.
   (c) The California court system will be directly affected by the
criminal justice planning that will be done under this title and by
the federal grants that will be made to implement that planning.
   (d) For effective planning and implementation of court projects it
is essential that the agency or agencies designated by the Director
of Finance pursuant to Section 13820 have the advice and assistance
of a state judicial system planning committee.
13831.  The California Council on Criminal Justice may request the
advice and assistance of the Judicial Criminal Justice Planning
Committee in carrying out its functions under Chapter 2 of this
title.
13832.  The agency or agencies designated by the Director of Finance
pursuant to Section 13820 shall consult with, and shall seek the
advice of, the Judicial Criminal Justice Planning Committee in
carrying out its functions under Chapter 3 of this title insofar as
they affect the California court system.
   In addition, any grant of federal funds made or approved by the
office which is to be implemented in the California court system
shall be submitted to the Judicial Criminal Justice Planning
Committee for its review and recommendations before being presented
to the California Council on Criminal Justice for its action.
13833.  The expenses necessarily incurred by the members of the
Judicial Criminal Justice Planning Committee in the performance of
their duties under this title shall be paid by the Judicial Council,
but it shall be reimbursed by the agency or agencies designated by
the Director of Finance pursuant to Section 13820 to the extent that
federal funds can be made available for that purpose.  Staff support
for the committee's activities shall be provided by the Judicial
Council, but the cost of that staff support shall be reimbursed by
the agency or agencies designated by the Director of Finance pursuant
to Section 13820 to the extent that federal funds can be made
available for that purpose.
