The Mediation & Arbitration Bill
Florida consolidates its court mediation and arbitration funds
Trust Funds of the State Courts System
Mixed: some good, some bad ·
This bill closes a specific state account for mediation and arbitration and moves its money into the main state courts fund.
Our take
What we think, in plain words.
This is a routine government housekeeping bill. It does not stop people from using mediation or arbitration. It just changes which state bank account holds the money to pay for it.
