Abstract: Removes requirements relative to when processing fees are to be paid.
Present law requires that a processing fee of $5 for the clerk of court and $5 for the office of
judicial administrator for the supreme court, not to exceed $10 in each suit, be taxed as costs of
court in each suit for any information that is required by supreme court rule to be submitted by
the clerk of court.
Proposed law retains present law.
Present law requires that the court cost shall be paid only at the conclusion or dismissal of the
