Plain-language change summary

House Bill 2076 has undergone significant changes, focusing less on topics related to probation officers and assault, and instead shifting towards court fees and the management of digital evidence storage. The updated version now includes provisions that establish an additional fee for court filings, which will be collected by clerks and directed to a specific fund related to lengthy trials and digital evidence. This change is important because it ensures that there are dedicated financial resources for managing digital evidence, which is becoming increasingly crucial in modern legal proceedings.

The bill establishes a new fee structure for filings related to justice of the peace courts and modifies several fund management processes for the existing digital evidence and trial funds.

  • Section 12-115

    In addition to any other assessment authorized by law, the supreme court shall establish an additional fee on each filing, appearance and answer or response fee charged by a clerk of the superior court.

    This introduces a new additional fee that the supreme court must establish for various court filings.

  • Section 12-284.01

    not to exceed fifteen dollars → not to exceed twenty-four dollars

    This increases the maximum additional fee the presiding judge can impose from $15 to $24.

  • Section 12-284.01

    C. → C. The monies collected pursuant to section 12-284.02, subsection B shall be used to improve access to court records.

    This clarifies the use of funds collected under a related section for improving access to court records.

  • Section 21-222

    the reasonable and necessary costs of administering the fund. → the reasonable and necessary costs of administering the fund.

    While the sentence remains, it emphasizes that no more than 3% of the fund can be used for administration costs.

  • Section 22-282

    In addition to any other assessment authorized by law, the supreme court shall establish an additional fee on each filing, appearance and answer or response fee received by the justice of the peace.

    This creates a new additional fee system specifically for filings in the justice of the peace courts.

  • Section 22-282

    The additional fee may be deferred or waived pursuant to sections 12-302 and 12-304.

    This allows for the deferral or waiver of the newly introduced additional fee.

  • Section 22-282

    In establishing the additional fee under subsection A of this section, the supreme court may designate by rule that the additional fee not be imposed on filings in types of cases that involve minimal use of court resources, that are not afforded the opportunity for a trial by jury or that do not involve the use of digital evidence.

    This ensures that the new fee can be limited for certain case types, preserving resources for less complex filings.

  • Section 12-284.02

    be used to improve access to court records. → be used to improve access to court records.

    Reiterates that funds in the document evidence fund are dedicated to enhancing access to court records.

  • Section 22-282

    The county treasurer shall transmit the fees to the state treasurer on or before the fifteenth day of each month for deposit, pursuant to sections 35-146 and 35-147, in the Arizona lengthy trial and digital evidence fund established by section 21-222.

    This formalizes the process of transferring newly imposed fees to the existing Arizona lengthy trial and digital evidence fund.

  • Section 6

    Section 22-282, Arizona Revised Statutes, as added by this act, is repealed from and after December 31, 2026.

    This establishes a delayed repeal of the new section related to additional fees for justice of the peace filings after a specified date.
