Sec. 3. (a) A county desiring to participate in the program under this chapter must:
(1) develop a plan to carry out the purposes of section 2 of this chapter that is approved by a majority of the judges in the county exercising jurisdiction over domestic relations and paternity cases; and
(2) submit the plan to the judicial conference of Indiana.
(b) The plan under subsection (a) must include:
(1) information concerning how the county proposes to carry out the purposes of the domestic relations alternative dispute resolution fund as set out in section 2 of this chapter; and
(2) a method of ensuring that the money in the alternative dispute resolution fund is disbursed in a manner that primarily benefits those litigants who have the least ability to pay.
