Relating to the cost of requesting electronic copies of documents from a district clerk.

It sets a $1 fee for the first 10 pages of an electronic copy and $0.10 per page for documents longer than 10 pages, replacing the previous flat $1-per-page fee. This affects anyone requesting court records electronically, including attorneys, researchers, and the public. The new fee structure takes effect September 1, 2025.
