BACKGROUND- I Under current law, a fee of $1. 00 is authorized, in additional to all other civil filing fees, to defray the cost of automating the County Clerk and Municipal Court recordkeeping systems and conversion of the County Clerk and Municipal Court document storage system to micrographics. SB 1877 has been introduced by Senator Boatwright, at the request of the Board of Supervisors, to allow an increase in this fee. As introduced, SB 1877 would authorize the Board of Supervisors to increase this fee to $3 . 00, providing the Board provides matching funds equal to the amount of the increase and providing that the funds are used exclusively to pay the costs of automating the County Clerk and Municipal Court recordkeeping system or the !conversion of the Court' s document system to micrographics, or both. The increased fee would not apply to small claims cases. In view of the .1fact that this bill has been introduced at the request of the Board of Supervisors it would be appropriate for the Board to indicate that it is the sponsor of the bill.
