BY DEPUTY
M382 (10/88)
The May 16 , 1990 amendments relate to provisions of the bill
which apply only to counties in which there are 50 or more
authorized judges and which authorize such counties 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.
SB 2588 passed the SenateJudiciary Committee on May 1, 1990 by a
vote of 8 :0. The bill is currently on Special Consent Calendar
on the Senate Floor.
