History: 1959 acts authorized purchases by clerk for circuit court and required state rather than county commissioners to provide suitable quarters and furniture, county government having been abolished; P.A. 74-183 added reference to sharing of building by court of common pleas and superior court, deleted reference to supplies for circuit court and added Subsec. (b), effective December 1, 1974; P.A. 76-436 clarified Subsec. (a) re expense of providing quarters and furniture for courts by specifically referring to Sec. 51-156a, added reference to judicial districts and removed court of common pleas from purview of section in Subsec. (a), effective July 1, 1978; P.A. 78-280 deleted reference to counties and made technical grammatical correction substituting “judicial districts” for “judicial district”; P.A. 82-248 rephrased some provisions but made no substantive change; P.A. 83-295 amended Subsec. (a) by deleting provisions concerning the purchase of court supplies by the clerk of each court location with the approval of a judge thereof.
