SUBJECT: LEGISLATION: SB 2588 (Alquist)
SPECIFIC REQUEST(S)OR RECOMMENDATION(S)&BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION
RECOYBUMATION
Adopt a position in SUPPORT of SB 2588 by Senator Alquist which
would authorize an increase in civil filings fees to provide
funds to match proceeds which the County might receive from the
Courthouse Construction Bond Issue pursuant to AB 2180 , providing
that AB 2180 is enacted by the Legislature and is passed by the
voters.
BACKGROUND
Existing law authorizes each county to collect a specified amount
for penalty assessments and parking surcharges for funding
courthouse construction and county criminal justice facility
construction.
Senator Alquist has introduced SB 2588 which would authorize a
county to impose an increase in civil filing fees for other than
domestic relations cases and small claims cases of not to exceed
$25. The proceeds of the increased civil filing fee would
provide for the local match which would be required under the
Courthouse Construction Bond Issue, if it is enacted by the
Legislature and approved by the voters.
The Board of Supervisors has included in its 1990 Legislative
Program the enactment of an increase in the civil filing fee to
provide additional funds for courthouse construction. In view of
the introduction of SB 2588 by Senator Alquist for this purpose,
it appears to be appropriate for the Board of Supervisors to
indicate its support for SB 2588.
