The bill amends RCW 36.18.016 to update the fee structure for various services provided by county clerks in Washington State. Notable changes include the introduction of new fees for specific services, such as a $5 charge for providing a photograph of an exhibit and a $25 fee for providing a copy of a digital or electronic exhibit. Additionally, the bill specifies that for preparing a certified copy of a court document, a fee of $5 will be charged for the first page and $1 for each additional page. The bill also establishes a fee of $25 per court date for preparing a copy of audio or video recordings from court proceedings.

Furthermore, the bill clarifies that revenue collected from these fees 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. The changes aim to streamline the fee collection process and ensure that funds are allocated appropriately to support domestic violence prevention efforts and other clerk services.
