HB 41 reduces the fee paid to the superior court clerks for preparing trial records for appeal from $10.00 per page to $1.00 per page. This bill also provides that the judicial operations fund fee will not apply to the issuance of certificate of appointment or reappointment of notaries public.

The clerk of superior court is required to provide an exact copy of the record (not to include the transcript) in all capital criminal cases where there was a conviction at no cost to the Attorney General's Office.
