HB595 adds a $30 extra court cost in Elmore County's district, circuit, and juvenile courts for most civil and criminal cases (including traffic) and directs how the money is used to fund the circuit clerk and the judicial complex, with certain exemptions.
It creates a new $30 court cost in Elmore County for civil and criminal cases (including traffic) in district, circuit, and juvenile courts, excluding protection from abuse cases and small claims. Half of the collected funds go to the Elmore County Circuit Clerks Fund, and the other half go to the county general fund to support the operation of the Elmore County Judicial Complex. The bill allows judges to waive or reduce the fee for people showing substantial financial hardship, and notes the fee should not replace other funding sources. The act applies only in Elmore County and becomes effective on the first day of the third month after it passes and is approved.
