BACKGROUND

HB 1513 allows for temporary increases in the records archive fees and the records management and preservation fees charged by the district clerk for enhanced record management efforts, including the restoration and preservation of archived records. The new legislation provides for a fee not to exceed $10 to be imposed for filing of a suit, including an appeal from an inferior court, or a cross-action, counterclaim, intervention, contempt action, motion for new trial, or third-party petition, in a district court in the county. The district clerk under a county that adopts a fee under this section is required to prepare an annual written plan for the preservation and restoration of district court records archive, attached for the commission's review.
