Courthouse construction: filing fee surcharges.

The sunset date for Section 70624 was extended from January 1, 2026 to January 1, 2039, allowing San Bernardino County to continue collecting the filing fee surcharge (up to $35) for another 13 years to fund courthouse construction and earthquake retrofitting.

References to 'the Administrative Office of the Courts Judicial Council' were corrected to simply 'the Judicial Council' in subdivisions (a) and (b), a nonsubstantive cleanup of an outdated or redundant agency name.

Header changed from bill tracking format (Senate/Assembly passage dates, Governor receipt line) to the formal 'State of California Authenticated Electronic Legal Material' format with Chapter 75 designation.

Governor approval date filled in as July 28, 2025, replacing the previously blank signature line.

Page numbers and layout reformatted to match the official chaptered statute format (page 96 instead of 97).

The sunset date in subdivision (c) is extended from January 1, 2026 to January 1, 2039, allowing San Bernardino County to continue imposing the filing fee surcharge for an additional 13 years.

References to the 'Administrative Office of the Courts' are changed to 'Judicial Council' in subdivisions (a) and (b), updating the name of the agency that must be notified of surcharge changes.

A duplicated phrase in subdivision (a) ('shall notify in writing notify, in writing') is corrected to 'shall notify, in writing.'

The legislative digest now indicates the bill requires fiscal committee review (changed from 'no' to 'yes'), likely because the extended sunset date has budgetary implications.
