AN ACT To authorize the assessment and collection of a technology fee by the Probate Court of Clinch County; to identify the authorized uses of such technology fee; to provide for the administration of such technology fee and funds; to provide for related matters; to repeal conflicting laws; and for other purposes.
AI Summary
This bill authorizes the Probate Court of Clinch County to charge and collect a technology fee of up to $5.00 on every civil action, estate filing, fine, conviction, and affidavit filed, with the exception of affidavits of indigency, to fund the court's technological needs. These needs include purchasing and maintaining computer hardware and software, imaging and communication equipment, and converting court records to digital formats for public access. The collected fees will be remitted monthly to the county's governing authority, kept in a separate account (or a joint account if the Probate and Magistrate judges are consolidated), and audited annually, with funds to be used exclusively for the specified technological purposes.
