Section 45-25-81 Judicial Administration Fund. (a) This section shall be known and cited as
the DeKalb County Preservation of Justice Act. (b) The Legislature finds and declares the
following: (1) The financial restraints exiting in the State General Fund budget have resulted

in the circuit clerk's office and permit the retention of at least one of the two employees
now facing layoff in the circuit judge's office and one employee now facing...
