CONCERNING MEASURES TO INCREASE ACCESS TO THE COURTS FOR INDIGENT PERSONS.

AI Summary

This bill creates the Equal Justice Authority, a special purpose authority that is responsible for distributing fees collected on certain civil court filings to provide equal access to legal aid services and increase the efficiency of the court system for all users. The authority is governed by a board of seven members and will distribute the collected fees, with 67% going to the Colorado recipient of a federal Legal Services Corporation field grant and 33% going to qualified civil legal aid providers. The bill also establishes the process for collecting and remitting the fees, as well as reporting requirements for the authority.
