Authorizes counties of the third classification to use up to fifty percent of collected court costs and court fees for courthouse construction or renovation projects over a seven-year period

HB 1642 allows counties classified as "third" to use up to 50% of collected court fees and costs for courthouse construction or renovation projects. The funds can only be used for this purpose over a maximum of seven consecutive years per project. This bill directly affects third-class counties by providing a new funding mechanism for physical courthouse improvements. It does not change existing court fee structures but specifies how a portion of those revenues may be allocated.
