Bill > HB2064

This bill amends an existing law regarding automation fees charged by clerks of courts in certain Pennsylvania counties. Specifically, it increases the maximum automation fee from $5 to $10 for initiating legal actions or proceedings in counties of the second class A and third through eighth class, including home rule counties. The fee will be deposited into a special clerk of courts automation fund and can only be used to support technological upgrades in the clerk's office. The bill also introduces a provision allowing for fee increases not more than once every three years, with the increase limited to the percentage change in the Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers (CPI-U) over the preceding three years. This means the fee can be adjusted periodically to account for inflation, ensuring the automation fund keeps pace with technological costs. The bill will take effect 60 days after its passage.
