Item 3-5.05 #1h

Adjustments and Modifications to Tax Collections
Disposition of Excess Fees Collected by Clerks of the Circuit Courts

Language

Page 659, strike lines 2 through 5.



Explanation

(This amendment strikes language in the budget which overwrites the Code regarding the distribution of excess fees collected by circuit court clerks. Currently the state keeps 2/3s, while the Code states the state would retain 1/3. Adopting this language would reduce resources by an estimated $9.5 million in fiscal year 2026.)
