COURTS/COURT COSTS: Provides relative to filing fees for the Complex Litigation Section Pilot Program in the 19th JDC (EN +$120,000 LF RV See Note)
This bill modifies the rules for filing fees within the Complex Litigation Section Pilot Program of the Nineteenth Judicial District Court. It updates the language to ensure that all money collected from these fees is sent directly to the court for use rather than being handled by a specific parish clerk. The legislation also requires the court to maintain accurate financial records and conduct an annual audit of the funds. Additionally, it makes minor formatting adjustments to the text of the existing law.
