HB 2389 -- Child Custody Exchange Fund

Sponsor:  Roorda

This bill authorizes counties to assess a fee of between $1 and
$8 on all civil case filings by the clerk of the circuit court to
be deposited into the county's newly created neutral site custody
exchange fund.  The governing body of the county establishing the
fund must make annual grant disbursements to one or more
qualified nonprofit organizations for the purpose of implementing
a neutral site child custody exchange program as approved by the
chief judge of the county's judicial circuit.  The disbursements
in any year cannot exceed $500,000.  Any residual money left in
the fund will be paid to the county treasurer for the
administration of justice in the county.
