Executive Summary Once every twenty years, Florida's Constitution provides for the creation of a thirty-seven member revision commission for the purpose of reviewing Florida's Constitution and proposing changes for voter consideration. The Commission meets for approximately one year, traveling the State of Florida, identifying issues, performing research, and possibly recommending changes to the Constitution. The Commission last met in 1998 and, among many other suggestions, proposed shifting the funding of the court system from the counties to the state. As such, section 1 of Article V of the State Constitution was created and ratified by the voters to read: SECTION 1. Funding. (b) All funding for the offices of the clerks of the circuit and county courts performing court-related functions, except as otherwise provided in this subsection and subsection (c), shall be provided by adequate and appropriate filing fees for judicial proceedings and service charges and costs for performing court-related functions as required by general law. Selected salaries, costs, and expenses of the state courts system may be funded from appropriate filing fees for judicial proceedings and service charges and costs for performing court-related functions, as provided by general law. Where the requirements of either the United States Constitution or the Constitution of the State of Florida preclude the imposition of filing fees for judicial proceedings and service charges and costs for performing court-related functions sufficient to fund the court-related functions of the offices of the clerks of the circuit and county courts, the state shall provide, as determined by the legislature, adequate and appropriate supplemental funding from state revenues appropriated by general law. (emphasis added) The fundamental shift from county funding to being a self-funded office was a major change to how the state, and the local governments, did business. Through a newly formed Florida Clerks of Court Operations Corporation ("CCOC"), Clerks were required to send all collections from the court-side operations to the state to get their shares returned to cover the costs of their offices. The 00 laws enacted to codify the changes made to Article V of the State Constitution, not only raised filing fees and associated charges, but were drafted to provide flexibility for Clerks in setting amounts adequate to cover the cost of running their office. Prior to that time, the statutes had been written like this 00 circuit civil filing fee: 8.1 (1)(a) The party instituting any civil action, suit, or proceeding in the circuit court shall pay to the clerk of that court a service charge of $0 in all cases in which there are not more than five defendants and an additional service charge of $ for each defendant in excess of five. An additional service charge of $10 shall be paid by the party seeking each severance that is granted. An additional service charge of $5 shall be paid to the clerk for all
granted. An additional service charge of $5 shall be paid to the clerk for all proceedings of garnishment, attachment, replevin, and distress. An additional service charge of $8 shall be paid to the clerk for each civil action filed, $7 of such charge to be remitted by the clerk to the Department of Revenue for deposit into the General Revenue Fund unallocated. An additional charge of $.50 shall be paid to the clerk for each civil action brought in circuit or county court, to be remitted by the clerk to the Department of Revenue for deposit into the Court Education Trust Fund. The cost of filing a circuit civil action in 00, and before, was $0 with additional service charges of $8, mostly for General Revenue, and $.50 for Court Education. Statutes were amended by the 00 Legislature to read as seen in the following passage: 8.1(1)(a)1.a....the party instituting any civil action, suit, or proceeding in the circuit court shall pay to the clerk of that court a filing fee of up to $95 in all cases in which there are not more than five defendants and an additional filing fee of up to $.50 for each defendant in excess of five. Of the first $00 in filing fees, $195 must be remitted to the Department of Revenue for deposit into the State Courts Revenue Trust Fund, $ must be remitted to the Department of Revenue for deposit into the Administrative Trust Fund within the Department of Financial Services and used to fund the contract with the Florida Clerks of Court Operations Corporation created in s. 8.5, and $1 must be remitted to the Department of Revenue for deposit into the Administrative Trust Fund within the Department of Financial Services to fund audits of individual clerks court-related expenditures conducted by the Department of Financial Services. By the 10th of each month, the clerk shall submit that portion of the filing fees collected in the previous month which is in excess of one-twelfth of the clerk s total budget to the Department of Revenue for deposit into the Clerks of the Court Trust Fund. The circuit civil filing fee was increased to $95, $195 of which would be used to fund the state courts system and $195 retained to fund the office of the Clerk. The court education fees were moved in another section of law and increased to $.50. The words up to were added in many places; overall the fees were greatly increased, and, as can be seen in the above two sections, many of the portions of the fees were sent to other trust funds, not just retained by the Clerk. Along with the new fees came a need for a statewide manual to provide guidance on how Clerks' offices would impose these fees consistently. Clerks struggled with what should be charged in each county but that dilemma was solved by the Clerks collectively at a 00 meeting of Florida s Clerks of the Court. They agreed that the fees charged in all counties should be the same amounts. They felt it would help the users of the court system avoid confusion from county to county and help the CCOC better budget for anticipated statewide revenue and need.
The Distribution Schedule of Court-Related Filing Fees, Service Charges, Costs and Fines was created in 00 to address this need and to locate all the new fees, service charges and costs, and show where they should be distributed. A workgroup of Clerks staff, specialists in the various court areas, was assembled in the later fall of 00 and the Distribution Schedule of Court-Related Filing Fees, Service Charges, Costs and Fines was created. The workgroup used the remittance forms provided by the Florida Department of Revenue () to assist with their task. Having a statewide manual to be used by all Clerks was beneficial to clarify for customers what Clerks were charging for all filings fees, service charges, costs and fines, but also, to provide a uniform, statewide guide for Clerks. In 001, a new law required to develop a website for the Clerks transmission of all monies due to the state. The remittance site, called the Clerk of Court Revenue Remittance System (CCRRS), was implemented the following year and was immediately a success. Clerks adapted to it readily and were able to accurately remit funds no more checkwriting to the various state agencies. The law is shown below: 8.5 Transmittal of funds to Department of Revenue; uniform remittance form required. Notwithstanding any other provision of law, all moneys collected by the clerks of the court as part of the clerk s courtrelated functions for subsequent distribution to any state entity must be transmitted electronically, by the 10th day of the month immediately after the month in which the moneys are collected, to the Department of Revenue for appropriate distribution. A uniform remittance form provided by the Department of Revenue detailing the specific amounts due each fund must accompany such submittal. All moneys collected by the clerks of court for remittance to any entity must be distributed pursuant to the law in effect at the time of collection. (emphasis added) The CCRRS worksheets constitute the uniform remittance form and seemed to dovetail into the need for a uniform fee schedule so that the amount of monies due each fund was much easier to determine in the local systems. In the mid-000s, codes linking the fine or fee breakouts in the scheduled to the CCRRS worksheets were added, such as or AC. This addition allowed Clerks to code their financial systems in a similar manner to match to the line of the remittance worksheet that the money should be placed on, providing closer accuracy in remitting and an audit trail. Section 8.6(5), Fla. Stat., was added to require that fees collected were to be prioritized, so that monies were sent to the State General Revenue first, before those due to other court system stakeholders, or to local programs.
The priority numbers were included in the schedule at the head of each section, as seen below, and beside each line. : 8.6(5)(a)- 8 COURT-RELATED REVENUES F=FILING FEE PARTIAL PAYMENT 00 CIRCUIT CIVIL S=SERV CHRG/OTHER FEE PRIORITY 10 FILING FEES P= FINE/PENALTY 1. /GEN FUND 0 SERVICE CHARGES C=COURT COST. CLERK OF COURT 0 COURT COST M=MANDATORY. STATE TRUST D=DISCRETIONARY. LOCAL 80 FEE & SERVICE CHARGES-SUPPORT It is worthwhile to note that the F/M seen to the right of each fine or fee in the Distribution Schedule has meaning. For example, a penalty that has P/D to the right of the amount, implies that the fine is discretionary. For some time, the association has provided a manual, called the Mandatory/Discretionary Form Matrix showing what monetary assessments must be imposed by the court, those that are denoted by the statutes as Mandatory, and which ones could be handled by the court as a Discretionary assessment. The P/D or F/M notation help link the Distribution Schedule and the Mandatory/Discretionary Matrix. Letters to the immediate left of each line denoting local revenue (lr), court-related revenue (cr) and core court (cc) revenue were added to allow the court system stakeholders a better idea of what monies directly funded the court system. Further, although not required by law, a section was added to the manual in 011 to document recording fees for Clerks. The most major change to the chart came with chapter 008-111, Laws of Florida, where the Legislature again increased a number of fees and charges. The intention was to create more revenue, but not for the Clerks - for State General Revenue. To make sure the Clerks could not retain or otherwise account for any of the monies, the final section was added to the bill directing its usage: Section 7. Notwithstanding s. 8.6, Florida Statutes, the Florida Clerks of Court Operations Corporation may not approve increases to the clerks budgets based on increased revenue generated under this act. The corporation may increase the clerks budgets in the aggregate by $1,188,18 for the period from July 1, 008, through September 0, 008, and $,56,551 for the period from October 1, 008, through June 0, 009, for the increased duties related to paying jurors and juror meals and lodging expenses as provided in this act. These budget increases shall be considered as part of the recurring base budget of the clerks for future budgets approved pursuant to s. 8.6, Florida Statutes. (emphasis added) The Clerk was required to collect the new fee totals, but could only retain and account for the previous amounts in his or her budget; the additional portion had to be sent to the state. As such, the Distribution Schedule had to show these fees in two parts,
one that stayed with the Clerk and one that went to the State General Revenue Fund. Throughout the schedule lines can be seen like this: SEVERANCE cc 10 SEVERANCE/CLERK $15.00 F/M 8.1(1)(a)1.c.,.e. cr 1 CLERK OF COURT T.F//GEN FUND $.00 F/M FF50 8.1(1)(a)1.c.,.e. $18.00 While the Distribution Schedule presents a unified approach, it also captures local assessments, like the one in s. 18.18 (1), Fla. Stat., the local government assessment of up to $15 for any infraction or violation for the purpose of replacing fine revenue in the Clerk's FIne and Forfeiture Fund. Thus, while the Distribution Schedule provides a base for all Clerk fees, some Clerk's schedules may be slightly differnt from the statewide schedule. As you can see, the Distribution Schedule is a living document. It has withstood the test of time and the base document has changed little, although many fines, fee areas and other breakouts have been added, along with changes to reflect yearly revisions to the laws. Every now and then, Clerk s staff may suggest an area that should be added or revised; many times, the change is suggested to an area that has been unchanged since 00, but over the last decade or so, the workflow or business practice may have changed, necessitating a tweak. The Association staff coordinates with the Department of Revenue staff to make sure that all lines tie to the remittance worksheets. revises the Clerk of Court Revenue Remittance System website to match. The Distribution Schedule is also compared with the Mandatory/Discretionary Form Matrix. The Distribution Schedule has been widely recognized and accepted by the Legislature, the trial courts, and local offices. Please use this document as a guide for setting up financial systems, fee calculations and implementing the laws of Florida.
