The bill proposes an increase in various court automation fees across multiple sections of Wyoming law. Specifically, the court automation fee for probate matters will rise from $40 to $50, while the fee for civil matters filed in district courts will increase from $160 to $170, with $50 designated for court automation. Additionally, the fee for transcripts in cases appealed to the supreme court will increase from $100 to $110, and similar increases apply to other fees related to docketing and municipal court costs. The bill also introduces a new fee structure for the chancery court, raising the court automation fee from $100 to $110.

The bill stipulates that these changes will apply to all cases and appeals filed on or after July 1, 2025, with an effective date of the same. The increased fees are intended to support the judicial systems automation account and the indigent civil legal services account, ensuring that the necessary resources are available for court operations and legal assistance for those in need.
