California courts' financial fate over the next year will rest with Congress and whether federal lawmakers provide billions of dollars in aid to the Golden State.

The broad outlines of a budget deal announced Monday between Gov. Gavin Newsom and state legislative leaders cut $150 million from the judicial branch. The courts would get the money back if Congress delivers state aid tied to the COVID-19-fueled recession.

The $150 million is more than Democrats had proposed in their legislative package and less than the $206 million Newsom had included in his revised budget in May.

"Californians are doing their part—now it's imperative for our federal partners to pass a responsible and comprehensive relief plan so states and local communities can continue to keep Americans safe while leading our national economic recovery," Newsom, Assembly Speaker Anthony Rendon and Senate leader Toni Atkins said in a statement.

Many details of the agreement had not been released as of Monday afternoon and judicial branch leaders were scrambling for details. The deal appears to protect programs including dependency counsel, court interpreters, collaborative and drug court projects, equal access funds, the Court Appointed Special Advocate Program and other specialized projects that were slated for cuts in Newsom's proposal.

It's unclear how the $150 million in cuts would be allocated across the state's courts.

Judiciary leaders have not said publicly where the cuts may be made. Chief Justice Tani Cantil-Sakauye called Newsom's May projections "sobering."

"To be clear, this budget required some tough decisions and more work remains ahead. But they were necessary steps for keeping California on firm fiscal footing while we continue to meet the COVID-19 challenge, protect vital services and our most vulnerable communities, and build a strong fiscal bridge to a safe, speedy economic resurgence," Newsom and the legislative leaders said.
