PIERRE, S.D. (AP) _ The House has voted to double many of the
court automation surcharges that clerks charge plaintiffs when they
file a lawsuit.
The fees help the state Unified Judicial System update its
technology.
Charges for civil actions were doubled from $40 from $20. The
fee for small claims actions was doubled to $12 from $6 for cases
of less than $4,000, and to $16 from $8 for cases of $4,000 or
more.
The House on Tuesday also more than doubled the court automation
surcharges added to criminal cases.
