Summary

Existing law prohibits the clerk of the court from charging a fee for services rendered in any criminal action unless otherwise specifically authorized by law, except that the clerk may charge a specified fee for making or certifying to a copy of any filed paper, record, or proceeding in a criminal action. Existing law also prohibits a clerk from charging a fee for service to a municipality or county in the state, to the state government, or to the United States or an officer of the United States acting in his or her official capacity. This bill would delete the prohibition against a clerk charging a fee for services rendered in any criminal action. The bill would also revise the provision prohibiting a clerk from charging a fee for service, as described above, and would instead prohibit a clerk from charging a fee for the performance of an official service rendered in an action to a municipality or county in the state, to the state government, or to the United States or an officer thereof acting in his or her official capacity. The bill would define "official service" to include filing, certifying, or copying a document. The bill would make other nonsubstantive changes.
