SB3831 amends the Clerks of the Courts Act to increase the filing fee and appearance fee in civil actions. It mandates that $5 of these fees be deposited into the Guardianship and Advocacy Fund. The bill also specifies that no fee may be charged for accounts filed for guardianships established for minors or disabled adults under the Probate Act of 1975. Additionally, it eliminates fees for commitment petitions, petitions for discharge, and petitions for orders authorizing the administration of psychotropic medication under the Mental Health and Developmental Disabilities Code.
