Provide for a state docket fee and create funds for court purposes
LB 1228 establishes new state docket fees for court filings in Nebraska: $116 for civil cases in district court, $111 for dissolution cases, $61 for traffic offenses, and $38 for small claims. The fees fund two new court-specific accounts: $10 from each fee goes to the JUSTICE Software Cash Fund (for court software costs), and the remainder funds the Supreme Court Operations Cash Fund (to support court administrative operations). The bill also clarifies that counties, cities, or villages are not liable for uncollectible fees, directing uncollectible costs to local general funds instead. These changes harmonize existing court fee provisions under Nebraska law.
