SYNOPSIS: Under existing law, the district court has jurisdiction over cases where the amount
in controversy is $10,000 or less, and the small claims division of the district court has
jurisdiction over cases where the amount in controversy does not exceed $3,000. Under existing

the filing fee and filing fee distribution statutes to reflect the new jurisdiction of the
small claims division, but would keep the filing fees and distribution of filing fees at the
same amounts as before the revisions provided in this act. A BILL TO BE...
