SB 5426 - H AMD

By Representative Esser

     On page 1, line 16, after "county" insert "that increases the twelve dollar contribution to fifteen dollars"

     On page 1, line 18, after "exceed" strike everything through "section" on line 19 and insert "five dollars or, in the case of a county that maintains more than one library facility, not to exceed ten dollars"

     On page 2, line 1, after "exceed" strike everything through "section" on line 2 and insert "two dollars or, in the case of a county that maintains more than one library facility, not to exceed four dollars"

EFFECT: Allows a surcharge on top of filing fees only for those counties that take the maximum $15 contribution out of filing fees to support their law libraries.  Limits that surcharge to no more than $5 in superior court and $2 in district court, but allows doubling of those amounts in counties that maintain more than one library facility.
