Bill Summary
AN ACT To authorize the assessment and collection of an eviction mediation program fee by the Magistrate Court of Clayton County; to identify the authorized uses of such fee; to provide for the termination of such fee and dedication of residual funds; to provide for related matters; to repeal conflicting laws; and for other purposes.
AI Summary
This bill authorizes the Magistrate Court of Clayton County, Georgia to charge and collect an "eviction mediation program fee" of up to $5.00 for each dispossessory (eviction) proceeding filed with the court. The fee will be used exclusively to operate and support the Eviction Mediation Program of the Magistrate Court. The authority to assess this fee will terminate upon the effective date of any similar state-wide law, at which point any remaining funds will continue to be dedicated to the Eviction Mediation Program. If the Eviction Mediation Program ceases to operate for 24 months, the remaining funds will be treated the same as standard filing fees for dispossessory proceedings.
