ASSUMPTION
Officials from the Office of State Courts Administrator responded that they would not anticipate any significant costs or savings to the judiciary, although there would be minor changes required for those courts that are automated with the Banner software system.
They also indicated they do not know how much increased income might accrue from those courts that are assessing less than $15.00. There would be some minor work involved in changing some local court rules to implement the increased fees and the increased revenues would be local income.
