In 1983, the Iowa State Legislature approved the Court Reorganization
Act. The Act, which was originally proposed by the Iowa Supreme
Court, transferred the expense of operating the court system (except
the costs of district court facilities) from the counties to the
state.
Funding for juvenile court officers, court attendants (bailiffs),
indigent defense, and clerks of court offices was taken over by
the state. The purpose of the transfer was two-fold -- property
tax relief and equalization of trial court resources statewide.
