Description

Electronic filing in civil or criminal proceedings.  Provides that clerks may charge a fee of $25 for civil or criminal proceedings filed electronically and an additional $10 fee for subsequent filings in such proceedings.

The bill clarifies that clerks may provide official certificates and certified copies of records that contain personal identifying information electronically upon request of a party or attorney. The bill also confirms the clerks' authority to charge a fee for electronic notarization of $25 per notarization consistent with the fees allowed for notarization under Title 47.1 (Notaries and Out-of-State Commissioners) and raises from $5 to $25 the maximum fee per official certificate accompanying certified records.
