Bill > LD1370

This bill requires the judicial branch to submit a comprehensive report to the Joint Standing Committee on Judiciary about its electronic filing system by December 3, 2025, using only existing resources. The report must cover six key areas: detailed cost accounting for implementing and operating the electronic filing system, an overview of training provided to judicial personnel, an updated implementation timeline, an assessment of user satisfaction among judges, clerks, and court staff, an evaluation of alternative electronic filing software options, and recommendations for legislative or administrative actions to improve the system. The report aims to provide a thorough examination of the judicial branch's electronic filing system, identifying its strengths, weaknesses, and potential improvements. The Joint Standing Committee on Judiciary is authorized to use the report's findings to potentially draft and propose legislation during the Second Regular Session of the 132nd Legislature, ensuring ongoing oversight and potential refinement of the electronic filing system.
