Requiring
7% of any fee collected by the Judicial Department after July 1, 2005 to be
deposited in the Maine Civil Legal Services Fund and take the place of the
current funding formula for the fund will have no net effect on revenues for
the biennium. It is estimated by the
Judicial Department that both funding methods will bring in approximately
$306,000 annually. Doubling the
surcharge imposed on each civil fine, penalty or forfeiture from $5 to $10
will result in an increase in revenue to the Civil Legal Services Fund of
$298,994 in fiscal year 2005-06 and $551,988 in fiscal year 2006-07. |
