Congress is planning to give some relief to the federal judiciary after last year’s budget cuts.

A bipartisan appropriations bill released Monday night would provide the federal courts an increase of $316 million in discretionary spending—or 5 percent above current funding—for the 2014 fiscal year, according to a summary of the 1,582-page bill from the Senate Appropriations Committee.

That would almost erase the $350 million in budget cuts to the judiciary in March as part of sequestration, which has caused almost a year of layoffs and furloughs in the federal courts and threatened the judiciary’s ability to pay court-appointed private counsel in criminal cases.

The bill would set funding for U.S. Supreme Court salaries and court operations such as courthouse security, the cost of court operations for other federal courts, including Federal Defender organizations.

Karen Redmond, a spokeswoman for the Administrative Office of the U.S. Courts, said in a written statement Tuesday the judiciary is “pleased” with the funding, which is essentially the level the courts sought in December.
