Bill > SB0227

This bill amends Indiana's existing law on judicial salaries fees by adding a new provision specifically for eviction (possessory) actions. The bill establishes an additional judicial salaries fee of $115 for cases filed between landlords and tenants, including emergency possession actions, which will be collected by court clerks in addition to existing judicial salaries fees. This new fee will apply to both regular courts and small claims courts handling such actions, effective July 1, 2025. The additional fee is designed to help fund judicial salaries and will be collected on top of the current sliding scale of judicial salaries fees that range from $10 to $20 depending on the type of legal action and the timing of judicial salary increases. The bill is part of the state's ongoing efforts to generate revenue for the judicial system by imposing specific fees on different types of legal proceedings.
