(2)The local court can demonstrate that the grant will be exclusively used to hire full-time court employee interpreters providing language interpreter services for the languages described in subdivision (b) of Section 1632 of the Civil Code, in order to reduce the percentage of the court’s interpreter funds spent on independent contractors or part-time employees to 20 percent or less than 20 percent.
(3)The local court can demonstrate that a new full-time employee hired pursuant to this grant is intended to remain employed beyond the grant year to replace a roughly equivalent expenditure on independent contractor interpreter services.
(4)The local court commits to retaining the court interpreter employee position beyond the grant year.
