01:38 PM -- Senate Bill 09-038

Representative Marostica, sponsor, presented Senate Bill 09-038 concerning technical changes to judicial fees. The bill removes the repeal of the docket fees for county court civil actions. It also clarifies that assessments made to the Displaced Homemakers Fund apply to a declaration of invalidity of marriage, legal separation, or declaratory judgment concerning the status of marriage. The bill simply clarifies contradictory statutory language enacted in SB 08-206. Current statute provides for an increase in county court civil filing fees on July 1, 2010, while also repealing the same fee increase language on July 1, 2010. This bill removes the repeal language. Additionally, one section of statute includes a declaration of invalidity of marriage, legal separation, or declaratory judgment concerning the status of marriage in the assessments made to the Displaced Homemakers Fund. This bill ensures that all statutory references to the fund are identical.
