Sec. 6. (a) The office of judicial administration shall annually determine the amount to be distributed from the fund to each county's legal services provider under the following formula:
STEP ONE: Determine the number of civil cases filed in the county during the year as reported by the most recent Indiana Judicial Report.
STEP TWO: Determine the number of civil cases filed in Indiana during the year as reported by the most recent Indiana Judicial Report.
STEP THREE: Divide the amount determined in STEP ONE by the amount determined in STEP TWO.
STEP FOUR: Multiply the quotient determined in STEP THREE by the annual amount appropriated under section 7 of this chapter or by the annual amount of the appropriation from the state general fund as provided in the state budget act, whichever is greater.
Except as provided in subsection (b), the product determined in STEP FOUR is the amount to be distributed to the legal services provider or providers having the county in its service area.
(b) In a county where there is more than one (1) legal services provider, the amount distributed from the fund for that county shall be distributed among the legal services providers in direct proportion to the number of legal services providers in that county.
(c) Distributions from the fund shall be made on January 1 and July 1 of each year. Money in the fund is annually appropriated to carry out the purposes of the fund.
