To replace certain court fees with a new (and higher) justice system assessment fee of $10 on all district court civil infractions. This bill is one of many authorizing fee increases included in Gov. Jennifer Granholm’s proposal to close a gap between state spending and expected revenue in the Fiscal Year 2003-2004 budget. The legislative package would fix the amount of various court fees and make them mandatory, removing the discretion of judges to waive fees in certain cases.
