    The Executive and Planning Committee (E&P) recommends that rule 10.63 of the California Rules of Court, which concerns the Advisory Committee on Financial Accountability and Efficiency for the Judicial Branch, be amended to expand the committee’s charge by modifying the description of its duties, to provide more specificity to the membership criteria, to add a membership category, and to make technical changes.

    SP15-04: Judicial Administration: Implementation of Court Technology Governance and Strategic Plan
