SUBJECT: LEGISLATION: SB 2588 (Alquist)
SPECIFIC REQUEST(S)OR RECOMMENDATION(S)&BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION
RECOMMLNDATION-
Indicate that the Board of Supervisors continues to SUPPORT SB
2588 by Senator Alquist which would authorize an increase in
civil filing 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:
On March 27, 1990 the Board of Supervisors voted to support SB
2588 . The bill was amended on April 4, 1990.
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 . As amended April 4,
1990, SB 2588 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.

M382 (10/88)
The April 4, 1990 amendments relate to provisions of the bill
which apply only to Santa Clara County and allow Santa Clara
County to collect the additional surcharge until the courthouse
construction bonds are issued or if the legislation authorizing
the bonds does not pass, until November 3 , 1992 .
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
continue its support of SB 2588.
