Comprehensive Electronic Court Systems Fund; increase fees for deposit into.
HB 1249 increases court filing fees for civil cases in Mississippi to fund two specific state funds. It adds a $25 fee per civil filing into the Comprehensive Electronic Court Systems Fund (for technology upgrades) and a $50 fee into the Judicial System Operation Fund (for court administration). These fees apply to all civil cases filed between 2024 and 2027, including common cases like divorces, property disputes, and adoptions (excluding those involving child protection services). The bill directly affects individuals and entities filing civil lawsuits in Mississippi chancery courts, with the funds supporting electronic court systems and judicial operations.
