HB 1614 -- Court-Appointed Special Advocate Programs

Sponsor:  Aull

This bill increases the surcharge levied for domestic relations
petitions filed in a circuit or associate circuit court from $2
to $5.  The surcharge will be used to fund recognized
court-appointed special advocate programs and new start-up
programs.  An individual county can, by a majority vote,
authorize an additional surcharge not exceeding $5 on a domestic
relations petition.  The surcharge will not be charged when costs
are waived or are to be paid by the state, county, or
municipality.
