House Bill 1393 passed the House 66-13. The bill establishes the Judicial Technology Oversight Committee, which, among other things, will make recommendations to the Division of State Court Administration for the establishment of a pilot program involving electronic filing. The bill also increases the automated record-keeping fee for two years from $5 to $7 for all civil, criminal, infraction and ordinance violation actions, with some exceptions. The fee increase is expected to further expand installation of the Odyssey case management system.
