This legislation mandates all clerks of superior court accept electronically filed cases by January 1, 2018. The cost of such filing shall not exceed $7.00. The bill includes a hardship clause that extends that deadline for six months for counties who need additional time. An amendment was added to the bill that prohibits the Council of the Superior Court Clerks, any state entity, or governing authority of any local government from keeping any portion of the fee. NOTE: This bill has been added to SB 407, the Governor's Criminal Justice Reform Bill. |
