About
Court fees grants-in-aid and judicial branch grant for civil legal representation -- in an effort to replace drastically reduced iolta/iota revenue, the connecticut state legislature passed certain court fee increases effective july 1, 2009, july 1, 2012, july 1, 2014 and july 1, 2016. Under the court fees grants-in-aid program, the judicial branch transfers the revenue from the fee increases to the cbf, which distributes the funds pursuant to section 51-81c of the connecticut general statutes to current iolta/iota grantees for the purpose of funding the delivery of legal services to connecticut's low-income population. Legislation enacted in 2016 added the client security fund as a potential new funding source, but it has not been tapped as yet.
