AI Summary
This bill authorizes the clerk of the Probate Court in Carroll County, Georgia, to charge a technology fee of up to $10.00 for each civil action filed with the court. The technology fee can only be used for specific technological purposes, including purchasing computer hardware and software, leasing and maintaining technology equipment, acquiring audio-visual and communication systems, obtaining technological support services, digitizing and archiving court records, and providing technology-related training for court staff. The funds collected must be kept in a separate account and used exclusively for these designated technological needs. The authority to assess this technology fee will expire on July 1, 2035, and any remaining funds at that time will be dedicated to general technology uses in Carroll County. This bill aims to help the Probate Court modernize its technological capabilities and improve court operations through dedicated funding.
