Court Technology Funding Act; enact

Summary

The bill adds a new article to the state court code that allows courts to charge an extra filing fee of up to $5 in civil cases and additional penalties in criminal, traffic, and ordinance matters. The money collected goes into a technology fund that must be used for court‑related technology for judges, attorneys, public defenders, law enforcement, and the public. County, municipal or state governing bodies must adopt a resolution to impose the fees, and a technology plan must be approved and overseen by the chief judge or a designated board.
