Relating to: increasing the maximum fee for court costs collectible in a municipal court action. (FE)

SB 470 increases the maximum court cost fee in municipal court actions from $38 to $48 per case, applying to most matters like defaults, guilty pleas, or contested trials. It excludes specific violations, such as financial responsibility cases under section 344.62(2). The bill requires that $5 of each collected fee be paid monthly to the general fund, with the remainder retained by the municipality. This change directly affects municipal courts and residents facing court costs in local proceedings. The bill does not alter eligibility for fee waivers or other court procedures.
