In the near future, I plan to introduced legislation that would help our clerk of courts offices keep up with the rising costs. My legislation would amend Title 42 (Judicial Code) to increase the automate fees for the initiation of any act or legal proceeding by the clerk of courts of counties in counties of the second-class A through eighth class to $10. Currently the fee is $5.

My legislation would further allow the clerk of courts to increase this fee every three years based on inflation.

Please join me in supporting our Clerk of Courts across the Commonwealth.
