Filing fee increase
(Riley, D-Hazel Crest; Hutchinson, D-Chicago Heights) raises the maximum court automation fee from $15 to $25 for all parties in civil actions and convicted defendants in criminal actions. It keeps the ceiling at $15 for defendants who receive supervision in a criminal or conservation prosecution. It must receive county board approval, but seems to be automatic. It is on the Governor's desk awaiting action.
