House Bill No. by Representative Muscarello proposes the enactment of R.S. 13:754(F)(3), which introduces an additional filing fee of five dollars for the recordation of documents with the clerk of court, effective January 1, 2027. This fee will be collected and remitted to the Louisiana Clerks' Remote Access Authority (LCRAA) by the tenth day of the month following collection. The LCRAA is then required to transfer the total amount collected monthly to the Court Modernization and Technology Fund, which is dedicated to enhancing electronic filing systems and related technologies.

Additionally, the bill authorizes the Louisiana Supreme Court and appellate courts to enter into cooperative agreements aimed at developing a unified filing platform that integrates all appellate courts with the statewide LCRAA filing system. This initiative is part of a broader effort to modernize court operations and improve access to court records through technology.
