Bill > S04551

This bill increases the monetary jurisdiction of the justice courts from $3,000 to $15,000. Specifically, it amends several sections of the Uniform Justice Court Act to raise the maximum amount that can be recovered in money actions, actions to recover chattels, and small claims from $3,000 to $15,000. This means that the justice courts will now have the authority to hear cases involving claims of up to $15,000, up from the previous limit of $3,000.
