Bill Summary

Pro bono legal services fee. Removes the sunset provision for pro bono legal services fees.

AI Summary

This bill removes the sunset provision for pro bono legal services fees, which means that a $1 fee previously set to expire on July 1, 2025, will now continue to be collected in various types of court actions, including civil, small claims, and probate actions. The fee will continue to be collected and distributed to the pro bono legal services fund, which supports legal assistance for individuals who cannot afford legal representation. The bill makes technical amendments to multiple sections of Indiana Code to remove the time-limited language around the pro bono legal services fee, effectively making it a permanent court fee. By eliminating the sunset date, the legislature ensures continued funding for pro bono legal services without the need for future legislative renewal of the fee.
