Existing law provides for $5 to be taxed as cost on all civil appeals decided by the Supreme Court of Alabama and the courts of appeals, and for the monies to be transferred to the librarian of the Alabama Supreme Court Law Library for the maintenance of the library.
This bill would increase the amount taxed as cost from $5 for each appeal decided by the Supreme Court of Alabama and the courts of appeals to $50 for each appeal filed with the Supreme Court of Alabama and the courts of appeals.
This bill would provide that the Supreme Court of Alabama, subject to the Rules of the Alabama Supreme Court, would decrease the filing fee for all cases filed with the Supreme Court or the courts of appeals by $45.
