The Technology Fee may be used to pay for maintenance of court technology.

• A. True
• B. False
• C. Only for salaries
• D. Only for hardware purchases

Answer: (A)

The technology funding is used to keep court systems running smoothly, not just to buy new gear. Maintenance is a core part of that upkeep—covering things like software updates, security patches, hardware repairs, and service contracts so the tech stays reliable and secure. Because maintenance of court technology is an essential, ongoing cost, it’s appropriate to use the Technology Fee for this purpose. The other options are too restrictive: salaries are typically funded from personnel budgets, and maintenance isn’t limited to hardware purchases—it includes ongoing support and updates as well. So the statement is true.
