Present law provides for a list of enumerated fees in civil matters to be collected by constables for

Proposed law provides that all of the filing fees from eviction proceedings shall be distributed only
to organizations which provide pro-bono, legal defense services in eviction proceedings, and such

services.
Effective upon date of Judicial Council approval.
