2011 Senate Bill 269: Raise small claims cap (House Roll Call 214)
Passed 107 to 2 in the House on May 1, 2012, to gradually increase the maximum amount that may be recovered in small claims court from $3,000 to $7,000, with the increase coming in several steps from 2012 through 2024. In small claims court actions a lawyer is neither required or allowed, which makes them more accessible to regular people; as introduced the bill would have increased the cap to $10,000 immediately.

This is a good bill. Thanks for doing something that was indeed necessary, but $10,000 would have been much more practical.
