TO: BOARD OF SUPERVISORS ^,,..,♦
FROM: Phil Batchelor Contra
County Administrator Costa
DATE: July 13 , 1988 C J*
SUBJECT: Legislation: Assembly Bill 3685 (Frazee)
SPECIFIC REQUEST(S) OR RECOMMENDATION(S) & BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION
RECOMMENDATION:
Adopt a position of support for AB 3685 by Assemblyman Frazee
which would require that $10 of each civil filing fee 'be reserved
for the automation of court records and would exclude this fee
from being returned to the State if the County opts-in to the
Trial Court Funding Act (SB 709) .
BACKGROUND:
Under current law, the Board of Supervisors is authorized to'
impose a $1 surcharge on all civil filings to be dedicated to
automating municipal and superior court records. AB 3685 has
been introduced by Assemblyman Frazee. AB 3685 would repeal this
$1 surcharge. Instead, it would spin-off $10 from each civil
filing to be dedicated to automation and micrographics. AB 3685
also exempts this $10 spin-off from recapture by the State if a
County opts-in to Trial Court Funding.
The .Municipal Court Administrator reports that the proceeds from
AB 3685 would far exceed the amount being recovered from the $1
surcharge on civil filing fees and urges the Board of Supervisors
to strongly support AB 3685. This office concurs in that
recommendation.
