| HB 1374 | Changes rules concerning when local governments may impose certain fees on court cases |
HB 1374 - This act permits counties and St. Louis City to
impose by ordinance before January 1, 2001, a fee on the issuance
of marriage licenses. It also allows a surcharge on any case
filed in circuit court, not just in cases of divorce or
separation, as is present law. The surcharge shall be waived if
other court costs are waived or paid by the State or any
subdivision. The fund shall be used to support shelters for
victims of domestic violence abuse.
