collected by the clerks of the district court for law libraries as
prescribed by law, the sales of any law library books or equipment,

appropriated and may be budgeted and expended by the Supreme Court
upon approval of the Chief Justice for:

maintenance, communication charges, and other necessary equipment,
services, and fixtures;
3. The payment of the salaries and benefits of personnel to
administer the law libraries and assist in the purchase, sale, and
inventory of books and equipment and the payment of all bills due
and owing by county law libraries. Without regard for the county in

the fund shall be combined and all bills paid from this fund;
4. The payment of incidental expenses as established in rules
promulgated by the Supreme Court;
5. The payment of expenses occurring as the result of a natural
