Administrative Order No. 2008-69

August 15, 2008.

RUTH V. McGREGOR, Chief Justice.

The attached provision is necessary to implement Section 7 of Chapter 286, Laws 2008, which is effective September 26, 2008 and authorizes the Supreme Court to increase the Class A and B filing fees established by A.R.S. §§ 12-119.01 and 12-120.31 for the appellate courts in Arizona. The enactment responds to a request from the Legislature to assist in meeting the current budget crisis and, therefore, requires adoption pursuant to A.C.J.A. § 1-201 (E) prior to distribution for comment and recommendation by the Arizona Judicial Council.

Now, therefore, pursuant to Article VI, Section 3, of the Arizona Constitution,

IT IS ORDERED that the above-captioned provision, attached hereto, is adopted as a section of the Arizona Code of Judicial Administration effective October 1, 2008.
