SUMMARY AS PASSED HOUSE: (all summaries)

Filing fees in custody and visitation cases. Creates a special rate for fees in custody and visitation proceedings barring any add-on fees in these cases and applies the special rate for appeal of these cases. The bill also corrects an omission in last year's legislation clarifying that a petition may be reissued without additional costs or fees if service could not be had. This is a recommendation of the Committee on District Courts. The bill incorporates HB 946 and HB 1284. This bill is identical to SB 103.
