CHAPTER _______

An act to add and repeal Section 70662 of the Government Code, relating to courts.

LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL’S DIGEST

AB 1293, Bloom. Courts.

The Uniform Civil Fees and Standard Fee Schedule Act of 2005 establishes a uniform schedule of filing fees and other civil fees for the superior courts throughout the state. The act establishes certain uniform filing fees for probate proceedings, including, among others, the first petition for letters of administration or letters testamentary.

This bill would, until January 1, 2019, establish a filing fee of $40 for a request for special notice, as specified, and would require that this fee be in addition to any other fee charged for a paper filed concurrently with a request for special notice.

The people of the State of California do enact as follows:

SECTION 1.  

Section 70662 is added to the Government Code, to read:

70662.  

(a) The filing fee for a request for special notice pursuant to Sections 1250, 2700, and 17204 of the Probate Code is forty dollars ($40). This fee shall be in addition to any other fee charged for a paper filed concurrently with a request for special notice.

(b) This section shall remain in effect only until January 1, 2019, and as of that date is repealed, unless a later enacted statute, that is enacted before January 1, 2019, deletes or extends that date.
