JCS FEE

Please be advised: 

Effective August 1, 2023, the temporary surcharge portion of the Judicial Computer Project/Access to Justice/Criminal Justice Enhancement/Office of Attorney General (JCP/ATJ/CJEA/OAG) fee that was authorized in Section 1795.1-E of The Fiscal Code, 72 P.S. § 1795.1-E, expired.  As a result, the temporary surcharge of $21.25 on all cases may no longer be collected.  This means instead of collecting a fee of $40.25, the correct fee would be $19.00 for all cases.  

***As a follow up to our notification on August 1, the Governor signed the general appropriation act (i.e., state budget) yesterday. Please note the state budget does not include a reauthorization of the temporary surcharge portion of the Judicial Computer Project/Access to Justice/Criminal Justice Enhancement/Office of Attorney General (JCP/ATJ/CJEA/OAG) fee. Fiscal Code amendments must still be adopted to reauthorize the temporary surcharge, and the timeframe for adoption of this legislation remains uncertain.We will continue to keep you apprised of developments related to the surcharge and appreciate your understanding in this matter.

Checks will need to reflect this change or the document will be rejected until proper funds have been received.
