SCS/SB 103 - This act modifies provisions relating to court automation, including increasing the number of members of the Court Automation Committee and extending the expiration date of the provision regarding the court automation. Currently, there are twenty-three members of the Court Automation Committee. This act increases the number of members to twenty-five by adding two employees who work full-time in a municipal division of a circuit court. Additionally, this act provides that any unexpended balance remaining in the Statewide Court Automation Fund shall be transferred to general revenue on September 1, 2029, rather than September 1, 2023. Additionally, the court fee collected for the Statewide Court Automation Fund shall expire on September 1, 2029, rather than September 1, 2023. Finally, this act repeals the provision requiring the Court Automation Committee to complete its duties by September 1, 2025, and repeals the expiration date for the provision establishing the Statewide Court Automation Fund and the Court Automation Committee. This act is substantially similar to HCS/HB 90 (2023) and a provision in HCS/HBs 994, 52 & 984 (2023) and is similar to SB 223 (2023), SB 1122 (2022) and HB 2702 (2022). KATIE O'BRIEN
