SCS/HB 1776 - This act limits the state's allowable fee for processing certain adoption documents to $100 per child per adoption, or per multiple children adopted at the same time. Current law allows a fee of $10 per document.

This act also provides that the Director of the Department of Revenue shall be the custodian of the "Statutory County Recorder's Fund". Current law provides that the State Treasurer shall be custodian of the Fund. Moneys in the fund shall be deemed non-state funds.

This act is similar to SB 1258 (2002) and SB 1078 (2002).
