HB51 adds new court costs in Morgan County and sets how the money from those costs will be distributed to the district attorney, circuit clerk, and the presiding judge's funds.
The bill creates new docket fees: $15 in district court civil cases, $20 in juvenile cases, $30 in criminal cases (circuit and district), and $30 in circuit court civil cases. It also adds a $75 fee for worthless-check cases. The collected fees are distributed monthly: 30% to the Solicitor's Fund (District Attorney), 50% to the Circuit Clerk's Judicial Administration Fund, and 20% to the Presiding Circuit Court Judge's Judicial Administration Fund. The costs are in addition to existing fees and are not waived unless all fees are waived; the act takes effect on the first day of the third month after passage and governor approval.
