The bill amends RCW 36.18.016 to update the fee structure for various services provided by county clerks. Notably, it introduces new fees for the superior court clerk's office, including a $5 charge for the first page of a certified court document and $1 for each additional page. Additionally, it establishes fees for providing photographs of exhibits ($5 per photo) and digital or electronic exhibits ($25 per exhibit). The bill also specifies a $25 fee for preparing audio or video recordings from court proceedings and outlines various other fees related to clerk services, such as a $30 fee for processing ex parte orders and a $200 fee for the issuance of an extension of judgment.

Furthermore, the bill clarifies that revenue collected under this section is not subject to division under certain existing laws and mandates that counties report their revenues and expenditures related to community-based domestic violence services. It also includes provisions for a facilitator surcharge and fees for filing various legal documents, such as a $35 fee for filing a claim of frivolous lien. Overall, the amendments aim to streamline the fee structure and ensure proper funding for domestic violence prevention services while providing clarity on the costs associated with clerk services.
