Clerks of the Court

Summary

SB 1322 changes the amounts clerks can charge for services such as transcript certification, subpoena issuance, and record searches, and requires specific portions of each fee to be deposited into the General Revenue Fund, the State Courts Revenue Trust Fund, and an administrative trust fund. It also lets the Florida Clerks of Court Operations Corporation request reimbursements for certain filing costs and shifts a larger share of penalty money into the fine and forfeiture fund while reducing the share that goes to municipalities. The changes would affect litigants, attorneys, local governments and the state agencies that receive the redistributed fees.
