Modifies provisions relating to court procedures

Summary

The bill repeals several old statutes and replaces them with new rules that let insurers automatically gain title to paid portions of property‑damage claims, set up a statewide court‑automation fund overseen by a mixed‑membership committee, and adjust how judges are assigned and court surcharges are collected. It also tightens privacy rules for judicial records, limits garnishment of bank accounts, and creates a Uniform Public Expression Protection Act to shield speech in civil actions. These changes aim to modernize court operations, protect confidential information, and safeguard free expression in legal proceedings.
