Law libraries; modifying transfers; modifying assessed amount for certain counties. Effective date.

SB 1602 modifies how law library funds are transferred from county courts and adjusts civil court fees to support law libraries and related programs. It requires counties with populations under 300,000 to transfer specific annual amounts ($5,000 to $9,000) to the Law Library Fund based on population size, while counties over 500,000 are exempt from these transfers. The bill also adds new assessments to civil court filings: $6 or $12 per case (depending on county population) to fund law libraries, plus $25 for the Court Information System, $10 for OCASA, and $2 for interpreter services. These changes directly affect county courts, law libraries, and civil case filers across Oklahoma.
