BE IT ENACTED BY THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY OF GEORGIA:

SECTION 1.

(a) The clerk of the Magistrate Court of Cook County is hereby authorized to charge and collect a technology fee to be set by the chief magistrate in an amount not to exceed $5.00 for the filing of each civil action with the court. Such technology fees shall be used exclusively to provide for technological needs of the Magistrate Court of Cook County. Such uses shall include only the following:

(2) Lease, maintenance, and installation of computer hardware; and

(3) Purchase, lease, maintenance, and installation of imaging, scanning, facsimile, communications, projection, and printing equipment and software.

(c) The authority to assess the technology fee pursuant to this Act shall terminate on July 1, 2030, and any residual funds remaining in the account established by subsection (b) of this section shall remain dedicated to general Cook County technology uses; provided, however, that, if the Magistrate Court of Cook County determines there to be a surplus of such funds, the chief magistrate of said court may declare a surplus once a year and transfer such surplus to the governing authority of Cook County.
