Courts; retention and expenditure of passport application and processing fees by clerks of superior courts and probate court judges; provide

Summary

The bill amends state law so that superior court clerks and probate judges may retain a portion of the fees they collect for processing U.S. passport applications, as long as their total compensation does not exceed 95% of a superior court judge’s salary. They must report these fees quarterly and any remaining money must go to the county’s general fund or be used for office operations, not personal purchases. The measure aims to clarify how passport fees are handled and to increase transparency.
