Bill > H7642

This bill, effective January 1, 2027, amends existing laws regarding the fees required when appealing a civil case judgment from the district court to the superior court. Specifically, it changes the required payment at the time of filing an appeal from a combination of costs, a $50 attorney's fee, and a minimum of $25 in other costs, to a flat $75 filing fee. This new fee includes a civil case processing fee and a technology surcharge, which is a fee added to court costs to fund technological advancements within the court system. The bill also adjusts the appeal period for landlord-tenant cases to include Saturdays, Sundays, and legal holidays in the five-day window for filing an appeal.
