Due to the impact of state budget cuts, the Superior Court of California, County of San Luis Obispo will implement public service reductions as it continues to adapt to increased operational costs with significantly reduced state funding.

While the Court will strive to deliver the best services possible, court users should expect reduced or delayed service because of reduced staffing and other operational cuts.
