Chaptered by Secretary of State - Chapter 98, Statutes of 2026.
Summary
The bill creates a new tiered fee schedule for small‑claims filings based on the amount of the demand and the filer’s recent filing history, and raises the uniform fee for the first paper in limited‑civil cases to $330 for demands up to $12,500. It also sets additional fees for amended claims that increase the demand amount and directs part of the collected fees to small‑claims advisory programs and county law‑library funds.
