Modifies and establishes provisions relating to court operations

HB 3289 establishes a statewide court automation fund and committee to modernize Missouri's judicial record-keeping systems. It creates a fund financed by court surcharges, grants, and sales of electronic services, managed by a committee including judges, court staff, bar members, and legislative representatives. The bill requires all court records to be stored electronically with strict security standards (violations carry misdemeanor or felony penalties) and mandates annual progress reports to legislative committees. Municipal courts can join the system by adopting specific ordinances and agreements with the state, with costs covered by the fund.
