Stacy Butterfield

“Closing the gap to fund the future,” was the message Florida Court Clerks and Comptrollers Legislative Chair and Polk County Clerk Stacy Butterfield presented to the Senate Appropriations Committee on Civil and Criminal Justice February 16.

Butterfield gave an overview of the nearly 1,000 statutory responsibilities the clerks provide and said the main funding for the clerks was not found in the General Appropriations Act but rather in fines, fees, and court costs.
